i have a 93 accord 2.2 L with 183K miles. went to change the spark plugs and found that all of them are soaked with oil. hoq can this happen and how can i fix it?

 

That's the sparkplug tube seals, basically that's part of the valve cover gasket. There's already some threads about that.

 

thank you i will read

 

Hopefully, it's not the o-rings under the rocker arm assembly. Those are much harder to change. If you look down the spark plug tubes, there are two seams. One for the valve cover seals, and one for the rocker arm assembly.

 

Yeah, exactly. I'd change the upper seals & cross your fingers. If it still leaks, then removing the valve cover AGAIN is a very small amount of duplicated work.

 

Ok, how hard would it be to do it all at one time?

 

Not much harder than doing it separately. All the real work is removing the valvegear & camshaft bearing caps. That's why you can try the valvecover gasket first. Repeating the work of removing the VC is trivial.

 

there is a step by step in the DIY section........here you go
