I have a 94 GT ...

Went to go do a tune up (the car was running a bit weird, like the timing was off or there was moister in the cap/rotor) and
I pulled the spark plugs and the two middle plugs were soaked with oil frown.gif frown.gif frown.gif

Is it time for a motor rebuild or is this just a seal/gasket issue? It has 142, xxx miles on the engine & chassis.
I pulled the valve cover off to try and see if there were any cracks along those long tubes (the ones the spark plug goes down)

Any inofrmation would help ...

Thanks ...

sounds like spark tube gasket seals.

probably a blown HG

was the oil on the firing side of the plug, or on the outside?
(above or under the threads?)

Correct me if I am wrong, those are the seals under the nuts that hold down the valve cover, right?

After inspecting them they did look a little brittle and hard.

The oil was more on the outside, but some on the firing side.

The oil dipstick wasn't milky, just oil on it.

Cant be the head, its only from the spark plug and that is more common than the head gasket. Head is more down from the valve cover.
