I was checking the spark plugs in my '92 accord and I found oil on the wire end that goes in the head. The funny thing was that it was only on the 2 and 3 cylinders, 1 and 4 were fine. If you have any info on what could be causing this, let me know.

 

Spark plug tube seals. There's rubber ring-gaskets around each spark plug tube. I like to think of them as part of the valve-cover gasket, but they're separate.

 

how do I replace the rings for the spark plugs? Would I want to do the valve cover gasket at the same time?

 

When I had that problem i replaced the o-rings, v cover & the 4 gaskets that go under the bolts that hold the cover on.
If you have the money do them all.

 

I'd replace the valve cover gasket along with the 4 sparkplug tube seals. That way it's all new. Most engines/years also have rubber grommets under each nut holding the valve cover down. Check to see if those are getting hard & brittle. I'm not sure if they sell all that stuff together as a kit, but when I got a valve cover gasket for my '95 Integra I didn't think to ask. All I got was the perimeter gasket. So I had to go back & get the tube seals.

Basicaly replacing them is the same as replacing the valve cover gasket. Take off the cover, take off & throw away the gasket & tube seals. Put the new ones in, close it up. Don't overtighten the valve cover hold-down nuts. Those studs are easy to break.

 

i just foudn the same problem, except my spark plug hole was completely filled with oil, haha, its alright though!

 

I USED A TURKEY BASTER & DUCKTAPED A RUBER HOSE TO IT TO SUCK OUT THE OIL SO IT WOULDNT GO DOWN THE TUBES. LOLOLOL
