Have a fire extinguisher in whichever hand isn't holding the camera. If you only have one hand...forget the fire extiguisher. Get that video ON HERE.

Oil in the spark plug wells is not normal. Also I would check all the valves for clearance.

Yeah, I guess no one really commented on that...

It's fairly common, but not "normal". It's a sign that your spark plug seals are leaking and need to be replaced. I can't think of any way it could be related to the ticking, but if you're in there anyway, you ought to address it.

FYI, if you don't already have it, you will find this book very useful when working on the SHO V6 engine:

I recommend printing it out and putting it in a binder; I keep my copy in the garage.

I'll get the video up this weekend, unfortunately we're going to be way too busy at work this week for me to be able to do anything. Don't worry...I'll have a second person there to help me out, and there is two 10lb, and two 2 1/2lb fire extinguishers in my garage at all times.

That's a great link, thanks Jon. My boss almost died when he seen the laser printer going nuts printing it out, but it's all good. LOL

With all that oil it could be an arching spark
