Problem with spark pluggies.

[Straight Success]

Lately, within the past 2-3 months, I've noticed when I checked/ look at the bottom of my spark plugs, #'s 2,3,4 were covered in oil, up to about half way up the thread of them. What's the problem?

rocker arm assembly o-rings are shot, more than likely. replace and be on your way. but before you ask any more questions i would run a searc. there are DIYs on threads on this!

good luck,

True. Other possibility is the piston rings are cooked but I doubt it it's your case. But mostly will be your rocker arm rings.

Are they tough to replace. Imma go look at Haynes, to see what they say. Thanks.

looks easy but if you aint comfy have a experiend friend or a family member to help you out..

I got my SP covered with oil to but , it was my top SP tube seals that were shot. hey, if I were you change the upper SP tube seal to while you're at it.

just gotta take off the rocker arm assembly....it really isnt tough if you follow a haynes. just torque down in the correct sequence! and work on the car when its completly cooled down!

Well, I just did my timing belt and WP. In the process, I changed the upper ones, because they came with the package, and the old ones were shot. Imma replace the plugs and see if that solved the problems. While I'm at it, name everything, if possible ( if y'all don't mind), that I should do for a 100,000 mile tune-up. Thanks.
