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

check your antifreeze. what color is it? do you see any oil in there?
open the radiator cap cold and warm the car up with the cap off. waTCH FOR BUBBLES! especially if you rev the engine and get bubbles. that would be leaking in. if it blows white smoke when you rev, it's leaking out.
possible blown head gasket
not the end of the world, though
(I'm no master mechanic, just offering another possibility to check)
good luck!
