Oil in sparkplug holes?
I changed my sparkplug wires out today, and when I pulled the old plug wires, oil was on the bottom of them! About an inch and a half worth, what would cause this? Any help would be mucho appreciated.

oh god.......the caneuter valve is blown!!!!!!!!!
not really, just the grommets that come with the valvecover gasket set......they fit in the groove around where the sp holes are.........just buy a $20 valvecover gasket set and do it all

yep. Just did mine, pretty simple 4 nuts holding the valve cover on. The spark plug grommets just slip into place. Just use a little gasket sealer or "hondabond" around the camshaft ends and i put a little on the grommets that set on the sprakplug whole just to be on the safe side! Easy Fix!

none except oil loss and a big mess when you do fix it...the spark plugs should seal the hole well enough to just keep it in that area.......use paper towels to absorb it out best you can, then pull the plug and make sure it's all clean...if some oil gets into the combustion chamber it will burn off as soon as you crank it
