Just changed my spark plugs with some new stockers. The old plugs look great but I noticed just a tiny bit of oil on them - really not much at all. Is this normal or is it an indication of something else that I can catch now?

 

how hard were you driving before you took them out?

 

on the electrode? or the threads? does the car smoke at all? I wouldnt be too worried about it unless you are smoking a lot or using up a lot of oil.

On the threads. I'm not too worried about it since it was small amount and I am not smoking at all...

 

I would not worry, drive it hard for a while then pull the plugs out asap after. then look, I'll bet they look nice.

 

Even if it was it would most likley be the spark plug o rings and that is super easy to change.

 

do a compression test

 

its the spark plug gromets on the valve cover. I just had the same problem...all gone after i changed it
