I swapping my plugs this morning and i found oil surrounding 3 of my spark plugs after pulling the wires. I changed all the gaskets on my valve cover no more then 2 months ago.

anyone have any insight on this?

TIA

 

Most likely you weren't installing your seal correctly or when you pull the gasket you dropped some oil in the spark plug wall.

 

do u guys put honda bond on both sides of the spark plug gaskets? like the part that touches the valve cover and the part that touches the head? Or just the side that touches the valve cover? any other help is much appreciated thanks!

 

youre not supposed to put honda bond on anything that has to do with the spark plugs!

im talking about the gaskets underneath the valve cover that go over the spark plug welds sir

 

You do not use honda bond on the sprak plug gaskets.

 

Only use hondabond on the valve cover gasket.

As per the oil leak, make sure you properly tq'ed the valve cover bolts down correctly.

anyone else?

 

check valve cover gasket, check spark plug gromets, check proper tourque on spark plugs (13ft.lbs.)

 

You or whoever put in too much oil on your last oil change, just drain some out and you should be fine.
