Oil Leak ?
I have a 95 B18B in my 93 Honda del Sol. I have had problems with oil leaking in to the spark plug cylinders ever since the swap. I have replaced the valve cover gasket and o-rings twice with no change. Also re-torqued the valve cover and replaced the cap nut washers. Warped valve cover? Any other ideas? I can't "read" my plugs because they are soaked in oil from above every time I pull them.

Re: Oil Leak ? (delSolLS)
is there oil only on the top of the plugs, or on the electrodes as well. if the latter, you might want to do a compression/leakdown test to rule out some bad rings.

Oil only on the top. Compression test/leak down done right after swap. 200 lbs all cylinders. Leak down cylinders 1&2:5%, 3:4% 4:6%.

try some hondabond, or silicone around the o-rings. mine did this, but it stopped after I swapped seals.....how tight are you tourqueing down the valve cover?
