the oil isn't getting by the spark plug. so when you say grommet you replaced the one on the underside of the valve cover for each spark plug hole?

nah bud i changed the ones on top after changing the valve cover gasket, what could it be???

There are 4 round gaskets that go inside the valve cover. it should of came with the VC gasket set. pull your vc off and flip it up side down and you will see where the wire goes through. around that hole should be a round gasket. replace those, and youll stop leaking oil into the plugs. What you replaced are the top VC bolt grommets.

have you checked your valve seals? if you changed your spark plug gromments then that might be the other culprit.

yup its the ones under ur valve cover on the bottom side there r 4 of them one for every plug hole. take the cover off and put new ones in i got mine in a set at advance for like 25 bux with a new valve cover gasket and gromets.

If there's still oil, and you did change the grommets, it's probably your valve seals.

yeah, what would you suggest then? he said that he already changed head gasket, valve cover gasket and the grommets. usually if all that is fixed and he still has oil in the spark plug hole the only other suggestion would be valve seal. so, what else could it be??

it's not the valve seals. lol that doesn't even make sense

rjmancia

you do know honda's have a upper seal and a lower seal for the valves, right? so if one of the seals is bad then its getting in trough the valve train. basically saying that he checked on top and on the bottom, but he didn't check in the middle(valve seal)
