Have you done a compression test? The oil on your sparkplugs is probably caused by bad O rings.

Could have done a couple of things.

Floated valve IE bent valve.

A seal could have busted.

It's likely you're reving a little too high too often.

And if you're staying in vtec too long that can be detrimental to you're engines health.

Please don't tell me you have a vtak controller either.

Again, remove your valve cover and check your O rings.

you don't have much power to begin with.

How does it feel when it drives?

o damn, misread something in your post. Yeah, there is a O-ring seal that keeps oil from getting in your spark plug hole, they go bad sometimes. Easy and cheap fix. Again, JDM-EJ1 speaks the truth

Something like that no, but you'll need to get it fixed. I would worry about getting your car fixed, before you start worrying about 'power'.

what? his rings are probably fine. The oil leaks down the threads on the spark plug and into the combustion chamber.
