    I changed my spark plugs and the old plugs were oily. Everywhere but the tips was wet. Could this be oil dripping down from the valve seal when on Idle? It's a 2.7 four banger with only 115,000 miles, which kind of makes me think that it's not the Rings. Anyone have any input on this subject? :ohsnap:

    Thinking maybe to not keep the engine on Idle any longer than she needs to be so oil will always be met with a hot, high Rev spark plug????

    WhaT are you asking?


    Just pull the valve cover get new tube seals and grommets almighty with the valve cover gasket. I'd do new dense plug wires while you're in there to. Check rockauto.com fir good prices. Go for felpro gaskets

    My first post on this thread asks the question that I was hoping to get a little help with Rmodel65.
