more than likely you have a valve cover leaking, dripping oil down and laying in the plug wells. Before you remove the plugs, spray some carb cleaner in there to wash out the oil and let dry, then remove the plugs. This will keep anything from geting into the cylinder. Recomend replacing the valve cover gasket with perma dry gasket from napa, alittle $$, but worth it.

thanks i was thinking the same thing
question though last time i change my valve cover gasket one of the screws broke from me over tightening it the top of the screw broke off but it didnt leak for a long time
question is whats the precidure to getting the rest of the screw out? i have this thing the auto said is for taking out the broken screw but what do i use to hold the tool
