Spark plugs soaked in oil!
 

Ok I know pictures help but i dont have any...
The tops of all my spark plugs are moderately wet with oil above the thread
below the threads they are pretty much submerged in oil... the end portion of the threads is dark black and each spark plug that I pulled out dripped a good tablespoon or two of oil... they were all heavily soaked. The gaps are still fine, they all fire and the metal bendy thing is usually whitish for the first 1/2 to 5/6th of its length.... umm any other info neccesary to tell me whats fucked? Can it be simply leaky valve cover gaskets? I know that explains oil up top, but why are they swimming in oil below? :'(

I think it's done. So much for the $6000 :-\

Now did you do the deed or not?

Re: Spark plugs soaked in oil!
 

Get a fresh valve cover gasket set. The gaskets around the spark plug holes are probably leaking profusely onto your plugs and it's slowly seeping through the threads. New gaskets, new plugs, and properly torque everything.

I am going to hondabond the gaskets too and do it soon, but the thing that seemed wierd is that there is much more oil BELOW the part that threads in then the part thats visible from the top while their in the head.

Re: Spark plugs soaked in oil!
 

yeah, thats why compression leaks by rings and not threads.

Re: Spark plugs soaked in oil!
 

its probably your lower tube seals that are bad. the top ones wont really help if replaced.

Re: Spark plugs soaked in oil!
 

will it also cause it to smoke out the exhaust?

also when do i check this.. when car is warmed up?

Re: Spark plugs soaked in oil!
 

By the time you replace the gaskets..and if you replace the valves stems.. Just get another head for the time being.

Re: Spark plugs soaked in oil!
 

get a valve cover gasket set including the gromets where the nuts hold the covor down and get a set of lower rocker seals (more of o-rings) the whole job including a valve adjustment should take about 60min with non power hand tools and figure 30-40$ in parts.

Re: Spark plugs soaked in oil!
 

I ended up replacing the gaskets in the head, but first I poured gasoline all over everything and burnt all the excess oil and old gaskets away. She stopped leaking. :y

Re: Spark plugs soaked in oil!
 

the head was off the engine right? Say this again, you poured gas and burnt the head. doesnt that warp stuff. im confused. i was not aware of this . what happened to a good ole simple green soak?

Re: Spark plugs soaked in oil!
 

green soak costs more then unleaded ::)
and it would take a good deal more then a quick flashover to warp the head you n00b

Re: Spark plugs soaked in oil!
 

Who the ---- are you calling a noob? Act right before you get smacked right? you join=2005 me join=2003 YOU=NOOB. anyway, if anyone who spend any money on a head the last thing they would do is set it on fire.

Re: Spark plugs soaked in oil!
 

Yes, the injectors pour gas into the combustion chamber and when ignited burns the bottom of the cylinder head, warping it past repair. :3



Good job thinking on your feet, ichi, with extra points for burning ---- at the same time. That's a bit of class. :6
