actually, wasn't even able to do the compression test

so, i go to perform a compression test on the R, and when I pulled the plug wires, they gushed out oil. There is actually standing oil to a point where you can't see the plugs.

weird thing is, is that it ran and idled fine before i shut it off.

so, now what? obviously not going to drive it. does it look like a build is going down this winter?

 

Looks like you need to replace the O-rings that go in the valve cover! Not a problem at all, my accord did this samething, replace the o-rings and all was swell!@

 

I would say that just your Spark plug tubes are leaking.Remove valve cover,replace tubes and valve cover gasket.Take a shop rag and long screw driver,stick down spark plug holes to soak up any oil before you remove the spark plugs.

 

good news, i thought something else was leaking

man, what a good site

 

get entire gasket kit and torque everything down in a sequence (helms manual)
