oil on plugs

[92civickiller]

i have a 92 civic dx it stop running i thought my coil went up and it was i pulld the plugs out and they was drippn with oil what could that a seal went bad in the head cuz it never smoked or knocked so i dnt think it the bottom end any knw what it could be

Spark plugs tube seals.Theres a kit you can get at National Auto, or Advanced or something. It's like $30. Very simple to replace. The actual seals are on the valve cover, at the bottom of the spark plug holes. They make "look" fine, but you might have to replace them anyway. Mine "looked" okay, while still getting oil on the plugs, so i repalced them and it worked.

Tips:
- When oil burns inside of the engine you may not always see blue smoke
- When oil is burned, SOMETIMES, because of the CAT the smoke can appear white

^^How would you know your oil is getting into the cylinder by just by pulling the plugs? Since you say its not a tube seal..

I would have to agree with that. The seals in the valve cover. when you pull a plug out it's gonna get soaked, cuz the oil has nowhere to go 'til you open a hole for it. If it was that soaked while in the head, it would smoke pretty good no matter what color. Also if that's the case, your cat will be junk soon. I don't think that's you prob.

Try checking the igniter(aka ignition module) in the distributer. pretty common. Also, if the resistance in the coil tests good, it still could be bad. I don't know why, but I had a '90 accord that would crank/no start and the coil tested fine. So one by one I started replacing ignition parts til everything was new but the coil. I even found a PCM to try and still nothing. Out of frustration I put a new coil in it anyway and it popped off and ran great. Good luck

no like i said bottom of plug that makes the spark when i screw it out it is dripn w oil and when it turns over it like it gna compression lock it turns over hard when it messed up on me it started missing and jerking then it just cut off i changed the coil and still wont start

1st.
You can't swap a Vtec
2nd.
Don't tell someone to do something if you can't spell it correctly

1st, You knew what I meant.

2nd, You prolly shouldn't talk shit to someone, you don't even know me.(Oh, I'm sorry, you can be anything you want online)

3rd, You're a F***ing idiot.

Relax. He does have a point though. Not only do people say V-TEC adds power because they say they can feel the "kick", but many people also misspell it. Both of these statements get annoying after a while. If you look up V-TEC, it stands fore Variable valve Timing and lift Electronic Control, so what does v-tech mean???. It ends up being, the blind leading the blind. At least there are some people here to help other ssee. OK? Don't take it to heart or you'll just keep getting irritated.

Did you know what I meant? Exactly. I know what it means, and I know you need more than that to go fast. I feel they run a little more efficiently and can get more. That's why I said to put a vtech in it.LOL

[Jo060]

If that is the case..your "joke" failed horribly.

[hondatech474]

OH, no joke to you. You don't even know me and you're talkin shit. Over a typo. All my kids toys are made by vtech. What's the big deal? Are you that pitiful and petty that you have to start some shit over that? You had nothing to even do with that conversation, so why don't you keep to yourself unless it concerns you.
