spark plugs

[shockwave895]

I was checking my spark plugs yesterday and notice that there was some oil down around the spark plugs. I dont really know how it got in there. I was wondering if that is normal or if there is something greatly wrong!

Wwas there oil in your tubes before you took out the plug?

Like Nail said, if there's oil after you pulled out the plugs then you could have dripped some inside. If theress oil coming out even with the plugs in then you might as well replace the spark plug tube seals.

Yea there was already oil in them when i took the plugs out. How do i replace the plug seals?

here you go guy.

DIY tube seal replacement

i'd get OEM seals from the dealership because some people say the Felpro kits don't seal very well. don't forget you will need a new valve cover after changing those. hell you might as well do a tune up with new plugs and wires.

I'd look into thepartsbin.com They have OEM and felpro gaskets for sale and they have damn good shipping services. Although I try to go OEM as much as I can, I've had a few felpro gaskets and have never had any problems with them.

The valve cover tube seals may be leaking, after replacing the V/C gasket and tube seals, recheck the spark plug tubes to see if you have anymore oil getting into the tubes. I have seen some cars where the o-rings that are on the underside of the rocker arm assembly dry and crack and also can cause oil to leak into the spark plug tubes. If indeed it is the rocker arm assembly that is allowing oil into the spark plug tube seals, you may want to have the work done at your local Honda dealership (gotta support my career) or have a mechanic/technician that knows what they are doing fix the problem, if you do not feel comfortable fixing this issue yourself.
