    Default Quick spark plug question!!

    So i'm changing the valve cover gasket and i notice one of the spark plug holes has so much oil in it you can't see the spark plug anymore. is it okay to just take the spark plug out and let it go into the cylinder?? or what should I do with it?

    try stuffing a paper towel in there to soak up what you can. some oil in the cylinder will be fine, but a lot may foul the plug.

    you need to replace the rubber grommets on the spark plug holes on your vc , buy the whole valve cover gasket set

    yeah i got the whole set. i figured the oil would just burn off but wasn't sure with that much... i tried soaking up some of it i guess the rest will just have to go in
