SOOO I took a look at my old valve cover, sure enough there are seals underneath it which seal the valves from the spark plug tubes!!! MAN OH MAN DO I HAVE A JOB AHEAD OF ME. Good thing I have a head rebuilt kit handy with brand new seals that I can put in. This is going to suck, I have to take off my brand new valve cover, clean it up, put on these new seals, AND worry about cleaning out all 4 of these tubes properly. I'm guessing I will just leave the spark plugs in there, and keep shoving rags in and out of the holes until most of the oil is gone, then remove the spark plugs. I don't want to pull the spark plug out and have all of that oil drain inside of the cylinders, then blow pure oil through my exhaust when I crank it up. Well, hope anybody replacing their valve cover doesn't forget to put these seals in like I did!
