oil flood in spark plugs... causing car to lag.
probably didnt tighten valve cover enough. or else getting new Oring seals. anyways is it safe to jus take the spark plugs out and let the oil drip to pistons?

Do not over-tighten the valve cover, you can break the grommets. Replace your o-rings and that should do the trick. If the valve cover gasket is old, might as well replace it too.

it's okay to let the oil to drip in cause it will just burn it up

Aight i see, i had the same problem, so what i did was bought the valve cover gasket which includes the seals that keep the oil from going into the spark plug, buy silicon and put alittle on the top and bottom of the gasket n the seals so it stays on the valve cover so it prevents from moving while puttin the cover in place, just dont put to much strenght when tight in the valve cover!!!
To clean the oil use an absorbing paper towel, or sponge, drive the car for like 2 days so the remaining oil burns then change your spark plugs and you should be straight, thats what i did an it works!!!!

alright, check it out. IT IS NOT OK TO LET THE OIL JUST DROP IN ON TOP OF THE PISTON! NO IT WONT JUST BURN UP, CUZ LIQUIDS DONT COMPRESS! if you do this you will more than likely blow up your motor. i had the same problem. if you wanna know what idid let me know. but "sickvtec" pretty much sounds like he knows what he's talking about. but there is a little more to it, to be absolutely certain!!!
