hey i have an ls vtec setup and after i put on my head i notice there was oil leaking in to my fourth spark plug(far right). now i have changed all the o rings and the valve cover gasket to OEM after i seen the problem occur. after i changed the o rings from months back i checked all my spark plugs and the same one is filling up with oil again. i dont know if i need a new valve cover or what. i would appreciate any advice giving. thank you

 

thats Cyl1 btw if its all the way to the timing belt..
secondly the only way your stuff is "filling " with oil is a gasket its the only way.

 

Make sure you cleaned all the oil off the the surface of the head when you do it, make sure there is no gasket material or oil in the receiving grooves of the valve cover and PROPER TORQUING SEQUENCE. It is very easy to over torque those cute little bolts on the valve cover also. Hand tight is all that is needed with a small ratchet. You could always use a tiny bit of Honda-Bond on the head around the spark plugs also.

Note: Old gaskets are hard, new gaskets are soft and squishy. (no sexual innuendos please, I thought of plenty when I wrote this. haha)

 

thanks
