What is the problem if a spark plug is covered in oil?
Jul 24, 2008 by trdtacosc | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I bought a 93 civic recently and when I changed the plugs one of them was covered in oil. I've heard 2 different problems. It's a simple seal around the plug or its major head work. Any mechanics out there know for sure?
IF THE OIL IS IN THE TUBE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE PLUG YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE VALVE COVER GASKET AND THE GROMMETS AROUND THE PLUG TUBES.IF ON THE INSIDE OF THE PLUG=BAD RINGS ON THE PISTONS.

If an engine is burning oil, the excess oil leaking into the combustion chamber can foul the sparkplug and prevent the electrical spark. If spark plugs become eroded or damaged, they will need to be replaced.
