Default Air Blow Bye On Plug Wire ????

I am getting air blowing from the spark plug hole.. it seams that the wire isnt sitting all the way down and when i push the cap with a screwdriver so it closes the hole better the sound gets quiet or stops..

i pulled the wire and there is no oil aroound it at all.. does air normally blow through here and the cap just isnt sealing? or do you think the spark plug isnt sealing in tight for some reason??

im going to pull the spark plug and check it but anyone have any insite?

btw this is an h22

Thanks

Doesnt sound normal to me. After all, why should there be air movement in there? It should be completely sealed

It's either crankcase pressure blowing through the rubber O-ring seal under the valve cover or it's cylinder pressure blowing up through the spark plug threads.

If it's a puff-puff flow, it's likely cylinder gasses leaking up past the threads.

If it's a smoother stream, it's crankcase pressure. Take off the oil filler cap while it's idling and see if the air flow stops.
