I'm still getting oil in my spark plug tubes, after i have changed the seals twice, what can be the problem????? someone help me out and let me know.

Edit: Will that also cause for me to burn oil or is it just me cause I put about 3k miles about every month or so on my car which is about half a quart every other week or so.


I just realized i didnt put the breather hose or whatever hose that is back in that hole on top of the valve cover. Now i'm hoping maybe thats the reason i'm still getting oil in my tube seals, But the first time i did it, i remember to put it back in, but in case thats not the problem, what could it be?

Buy some HondaBond to fully seal the rings in the valve cover. It's the same stuff to use when sealing the corners of your valve cover gasket if reusing an old one. You can buy it at Honda or Acura dealerships. Good stuff, high temp too.

 

are you sure, cause when i bought the seals it said dont use with anything, i used fel-pro and the one before that i used oem straight from the dealership, and i light put oil around the seals so they would crimp up.
Anyvbody have any ideas?

 

bump!

 

i'm bored so heres a bump!

 

hmm...how much oil we talking here? is it in all 4? tightened valve cover down nice and snug??

 

its in all 4 but not all the same time, one may start to have more than the other at first. well when i pull the pligs out the oil is about an inch cover the plug.

 

dont use feel-pro.. use OEM... once you get the honda gaskets, compare them to the feel-pro's... quality is hands down... i bet this is your problem.. i used a shitty valve cover gasket on my hatch, and ended up getting a OEM one, to do the job right.

some **** you can get away with aftermarket.. but when it comes to gaskets.. i like to stay OEM. ESSPECIALLY HEAD GASKETS.

 

Sounds to me as if you have some blow by and its too much pressure for those little seals to handle. Or possibly some other problem. I've had no problems using fel-pro gaskets before.
If you have to use honda-bond or silicon for it to seal then something is not right in the first place.

 

Well i havent used any sealeants yet.
What would cause a blow by and what is that?
Any idean why thats happening?

 

i've done it 2x already i'm gonna attempt a 3rd time and use some honda-bond.

 

any new ideas?
