for some odd reason oil keeps gettin onto my sparkplugs, ive already changed the rubber rings around the vale cover twice within in the last year. it solves the problem temporarily but then start up again after a few months. Any ideas or comments on what it may be would be great

How's your PCV system?

But did you change both the upper and lower plug seals?

headgasket?

I used to have that problem, and before I got around to getting new plug tube seals, I ran a bead of RTV/silicone gasketmaker stuff under each of the seals. It worked great until I finally got new seals about 6 months later. I would maybe try that and see if your problem persists. At least it'll tell you whether oil is seeping in under the seals or if you have a different problem.

ive only changed the four big ones which go aorund the valve cover. i didnt reseal the large rubber trim which goes in bw the valve cover and head. could that be a probalbe cuase?

umm...i don't believe there are any lower seals......there is the valve cover gasket and the 4 spark plug round seals. I don't believe there are any other gaskets that would leak onto the spark plugs. Headgasket would not cause that problem either. Just replace the valve cover gasket and 4 spark plug gaskets.
