im having a problem now with a slight misfire...replaced the plugs with some ngk's and bosch wireset that made it a bit better. I went to tackle the cap and rotor and i noticed there was oil around the base of the cap where it attached to the distributor...im not the smartest guy in the world but im pretty sure that aint normal...only thing i can think of is maybe the headgasket? anyone have any ideas?

no..actually picked it up from option racing for about 140 bucks or so. its made for the CRX. just cant see myself spending 500 bucks on a exhaust system. but its pretty good quality tho. honestly, i was pretty impressed.. its complete stainless.. i inspected every single weld and cold welded anyspots that i thought looked weak.
