Just changed spark plugs last night, cap and rotor are new, unsure on the wires. The 1&4 plugs were DARK, and 2&3 were covered in oil from threads down to the electrode. Gonna try to get a valve cover gasket on this weekend, shouldn't be a problem.




Thanks for any ideas. Can't wait to get this thing tuned up and have an awesome Honda
You mentioned it burns a lot of oil, right? If the plugs are coated in oil that quickly, you are likely fouling out the plugs and getting little to no power out of those two cylinders.

I think I'd be looking seriously at a rebuild or replacement motor.
