Default oil in spark plugs.

A question for the honda guys. I have a 90 ef si. I pretty much know what the problem is its the seals under the valve cover. I changed them with oem seals and the basterds still leak. I 've tried sealer and all kinds of sh"t. If anyone knows how to stop it please let me know.

I have the same problem. Is all the nuts on your valve cover tight? Because I have two stripped ones and it's not sealing all the way.

im assuming you're speaking of the spark plug gaskets....you could try ultra black gasket maker.... i had the same problem a few weeks ago... the ultra black substantially helped the problem... but it wont completely stop until you take the cover off, clean all oil and debris out of the channels where gaskets go then either use the ultra black or try gettin the spark plug gaskets.

Cool Re: oil in spark plugs.

Well it could also be your valve guides. Try some Restore next time u do your oil change. That fixed my problem.

there are o rings under the rocker assembly get them from the dealer (not jus average o rings) pull the rocker assembly off replace the seals and adjust the valves when you put the rockers back on and should be good make sure you torque the rocker assembly down to spec.
