Accord's Got Oil
My niece left off her 01 Accord from me to look over because of a rough
idle. It runs great otherwise. I picked up a set of Champion fine wire Irid plugs. when I pulled out each of the old plugs the upper portion [outside of the cyclinder hole] were drenched in oil. Each plug mind you. Where did this oil come from and what is the fix? Richard.

They're leaking and in need of replacement. Do a valve adjustment while you're in there. What engine have you got? The newer VTEC engines don't have any rubber O- rings, but instead have long tubes that are part of the head. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/
