My sister just picked up a 96 accord, the car seems to have a mis fire. I went to check the plugs and noticed that the spark plug wells are full of oil.

Does this need a new valve cover gasket or something more serious?

What are the best plugs to use in this engine?


Thanks!

The search yielded no results, but I found the procedure in the FAQ.

Is 90-93 f22 motor the same as the 16V in the 96?


Thanks

Yes same procedure, replace the valve cover gasket and plug tube seals.
use a little silicone sealer at the corners of the cam hump, where the round to square part of the Valve Cover Gasket seats.

Thanks man.

I looked at the procedure, do you need to remove the cam or just losen it?

I'll read it again.

thanks again!

no need to do anything with the cam; re read the post. I stated "AT THE CAM HUMP"

yeah it sounds like a valve cover gasket problem. my accord did the same thing and it was the vavle cover gasket.

had the same problem awhile ago and it is an easy fix....not hard at all to replace the gasket....
