Looking for General Advice on Valve Cover Gasket Replacement
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I changed my plugs a few months ago and there was some, not much, oil on the threads of all the plugs, not much but some. I didn't see any pooling inside where the plug goes, so I didn't get too worried.
I've heard that a little oil isn't unheard of and shouldn't cause any panic, but I was wondering what everyone's advice is about this.
I have a good mechanic who will do the work for me (or I could do it myself), buying the gaskets and plug seals isn't an issue, I'm just curious as to what amount of oil would raise a concern for you. Any oil?
Thanks.
BTW As you can see in my signature - I have an 03 XJ8 and it runs beautifully.
