Default spark plug tubes full of oil.

Is there a way to tell if the gasket fix for this problem is the easy one for the o ring type gaskets or will I have to remove the cam assembly on my 92 honda accord motor F22A1. Plan to pu the parts today but will work on the no start problem first. ED

I would suggest using a suction gun or paper towels to absorb all the oil already in there, then do the 'easy' O-rings and valve cover. If the plugs are oil-bathed after a week more of driving, then then cam tower rings need replacement.

what you have to do is let the motor cool down to less than 100 degrees, then you have to remove the valve cover then remove the valvetrain. In between the Valvetrain and the head there are orings. They get old and britle and they have to be changed. If i remember right its about 40 bucks for the parts. If you need detail instructions PM me and i will send you a copy.

there is a detailed write-up located in the FAQ on how to place both the upper spark plug tube seals and the lower spark plug tube o-rings.
