was changing my plugs and oil and someother stuff in my 96 sohc before winter and i noticed one of my plugs had enough oil ontop of it to coat my socket wrench. it does not burn oil. what needs done or fixed? and is this what happens before it starts burning oil? if a plug got loose could that have caused it cuz my one plug got loose a few weeks ago and was ticking.

 

Valve cover, gasket and or spark plug tubes said Fu and died. Easy to get the new gasket at a parts store. Spark plug tubes and VC might be a junkyard thing

its just a spark plug tube seal.....new ones are included with a new valve cover gasket

 

these easy to change? ive never done it before

 

i would give it a 3 on the hard list.

I hope thats a 3 out of 10!?!?!

It's real simple to do and takes about 15 minutes tops.

 

yeah 3 only because you should use a trorque wrench and most people dont have one.

 

A torque wrench is a must in any garage, and so is a Blue Point puller.

 

i have never torqued the valve cover bolts to specs...though i do have a torque wrench
and my poor mighty puller finally broke....waiting for snap on to get me a new one

 

what about the sparkplugs
