the top part of the plug, or the bottom in the combustion chamber?

if top, replace spark plug tube seals. if bottom, could be leaky valve seals or oil control rings on the pistons.

first, replace your valve cover gasket. cheap, easy to do, and nothing wrong with a new gasket. i had the same problem...even oil on the threads, but its all better now. do that before you blame it on the piston rings. i recommend replacing the gasket, plug seals, AND new sparkplugs...check it after a few days.

And dnt forget to look up the proper tourqe specs on those head studs when puting the head bak on and if the studs are old and streched it's best to replace them or else it will not maintain a good cell on the blok

LOL! X2-D16SiHatch... Removing the head will not be neccesary! Unless you plan to change your oil control rings, and take your whole enigine apart... & changing your valve cover gasket, will not fix your problem of oil in the spark plugs! Although when changing you spark plug tube seals, you should definately replace the valve cover gasket while your in there!... Read post #2... This is cut and dry. Its either 1 or the other!(hopefully not your rings, for your sake!) Good Job SiHatch!

P.S. If its your valve seals, then yes, also remove the head, and do a complete rebuild on the head....ex. check for warps, cracks,any visable damage... Get new valve seals,valves(if you like,or if nessesary. depending on your purposes for the car or your budget. Last time i check valves for my f22 bout $12 a piece...X16...Roughly $200 For OEM valves. Probably more now-a-days. I dont know.) Machine for smoothness & slap back together with some new gaskets! ... Good luck!
