Working on 1990 Honda civic,1.5 ltr,spark plugs go through valve cover?

Question

When i pulled out the plug wires ,the ends of the plug wires are covered in oil and there is so much oil that it covers the plug,not the end that goes in the engine ,but the end that the wire goes on,the plugs are down inside the valve cover inside a tube,where is this oil coming from ?,all 4 plugs are the same

Answer 1

The first thing you do is go to your local parts store and pick up a valve cover set, notice that i said set, it will contain more than the preformed rubber gasket that seals the valve cover to the haed. then pick up a new set of ignition wires. oil is very bad for them. when you see the spark plug tube seals with the valve cover set you will understand that the valve cover is sealed all along the outside as well as those tubes in the middle. the plugs tighten down the tube seals like the bolts on the outside of the cover

Answer 2

You don't have a blown head gasket,you need to replace the valve cover gasket and the four spark plug tube seals that should be included in a valve cover gasket set

Answer 3

you may have a blown head gasket...but i doubt it. if while the engine is running and there is NO anti-freeze pouring into the ground...your head gasket is fine. what you have is a VALVE COVER GASKET that is bad. it is a HEMI style engine....plugs are through the valve cover and directly into the head....MAZDA did this too on the 626...at a shop its about a $800 job....you can do it in about 2 hrs for the cost of your time and the cost of new plugs, engine oil, oil filter and the gasket it self.

good luck

Answer 4

Any wound, no count if stitched or no longer, heals greater useful and quicker whilst that's coated with a sterile bandage. opposite to customary theory, leaving it uncovered to the air would not help. somewhat, it will improve the probability of micro organism entering touch with the wound, which might merely lengthen healing.

you have a blown headgasket
