i need massive help !!!!!
 

ok well i was installing my new msd 6a ignition on my 89 honda crx si. When i was done installing it my car would not start... i thought at first i just screwed up the firing order but i double checked it on the net and i did have it right. I pulled the plugs out from the valve cover and oil came pouring out. Oil is pooled up down in the spark plug holes. The plugs are still in as well. I dont know what to do any info would be great... thanks much

Take your vavle cover off and look at the seals on the valve cover for the spark plug holes. they could be bad or you don't have any. Or you out the valve cover on wrong. If it isn't any of those I have no idea.

damn oil coming out where the spark plugs are... :'( :-\ :-X :-[ :o I dont think thats a good thing!! Your seals could be fucked..

Re:i need massive help !!!!!
 

I don't know much about it, but if i were to guess i would recheck your wiring..

Re:i need massive help !!!!!
 

yah if it ran fine before. check wiring.

Re:i need massive help !!!!!
 

i had the same problem(the oil in the spark plug holes), did you take your valve cover off at all? well, i did, and when i replaced all the valve cover seals it fixed the problem. about the not starting thing, im not too sure, did you use a msd cap and msd coil?

Re:i need massive help !!!!!
 

Well if it was running before you did the wiring, its obvious you have a problem with that.

I fucked up my first MSD swap, but just read the wiring sheet, it isnt to bad.

As far as your plugs, more than likly what everyone is saying, just the rubber grommets on the underside of the valve cover that keep oil out of the holes, No biggy this is really common. (needs new seals) or throw some spoogy on them.
