i had the same problem when i first got my lude, all you gotta do is drain the oil... then take out the spark plugs, let the oil drain down to the cylinder head. it won't hurt anything. the go buy new spark plugs, put them in, and buy new oil/oil filter bla bla bla...then you should be good.

why do you need to drain the oil? once he pulls the plugs, it will be in the cc. draining the oil does nothing for this. pull the plugs and turn the engine aover till as much that will come out will. then put in the plugs and start it. it will somoke for 5 mins.

if you really got 2 quarts in there you might want to rig up ike a turky baster and some rubber hose and suck it out

Drain the 2 quarts (or whatever) of oil sitting on top of the plugs? Well, you try taking plugs out that are submerged in oil..... I can only imagine it would be a royal pain without draining it out with a baster or something.

There is no way you have 2 quarts in your spark plug holes. they will hold 1/2 a quart if lucky.

the oil from not changing the gromets in the valve cover will go around the theards and in the bottom, it wont fill up...and it will come off w/spark plug socket
