Oil in your spark plug wells? Misfire? Burning oil smell?
Here’s what that looks like — and how I fix it.
Today I handled a full valve cover gasket + spark plug tube seal replacement.
Client was having rough idle, poor acceleration, and oil on the ignition coils.
Pulled everything apart and found:
• Spark plug tubes completely filled with oil
• Plugs fouled and misfiring
• Valve cover gasket and tube seals hardened and leaking
• PCV system clogged with residue
Completed:
✔️ New valve cover gasket
✔️ New spark plug tube seals
✔️ New spark plugs
✔️ Full cleaning of the head + mating surfaces
✔️ Reassembled, torqued to spec, test-fired = running smooth again
If your vehicle is shaking, misfiring, or smelling like burning oil, I can take care of it.
