The spark plugs themselves? Or just the spark plug wire boots?

If it's just the boots, you'll probably need to clean the terminals and make sure they 'snap' into place. Otherwise, if it's your plugs themselves, then you probably cross threaded them a few times and there are no more threads to hold the plugs in place.

sorry i should of been more detailed, yes its the boots. I shall try re crimping slightly and cleaning the rubber in some washing liquid..... it should de grease them enough to tell whether thats causing the problem.

thanks

check that your spark plugs are tight?

maybe you have some serious blow-by issues, have you ever done a compression test before, condition of rings?

i'll do a leak down test to be sure. Does anyone recommend some decent HT leads other than the stock? I have MSD 6AL so maybe i should go with their wires but they are $$$
thanks

Usually when that happens the spark plug seals are leaking
is there oil down inside the spark plug hole???
if so, replace the spark plug seals.. they are cheap.. $20.00 at most and you can do it yourself in less than 1/2 hr.
