Well greenbean has finally fallen to the oil in the wells and i guess aided by the 20 degree temp. here today ive finally started feeling a slight stumble upon light throttle. My wires are only about 3 months old so im not going to replace them but i will be replacing the 5 month old spark plugs provided they dont look good since they have been submerged in oil. But heres my question for yall:

where is the best place yall have gotten plug well seals? I understand you have to get them with valve cover gaskets and thats fine with me, but as far as price and time to get them in is my concern. I only have next week off so i will have to do it then and i dont want to wait weeks for the things to come in or something. Thanks everyone yalls suggestions are much appreciated. And Everyone have a Merry Christmas :)

um, Napa, and adavance.... comes with VC, and oil seals...

a tip for the oil, take a squirt bottle, and put the end in the well, then start squrting into a bottle... It helps alot!!

Saleensho, ive got a job interview tuesday so i wont be able to work on mine until roughly wednesday on next week......... depending on when i get the parts in is when ill get started on her.........ive done this process myself on the 89 for my sister but autozone had them in stock and i got the last set and it was on her bill so i just got them and left...... They said in the future they would have to order them so thats why i asked about what yall use....... I doubt you and i will be able to rig up a time to work on it together but im up for getting the twins together for a shoot...... have you found out when your comming up for the meet? Mine is pretty much already clean so whenever your up for it just hollar at me and we will take some shots of them.

If price is a big factor I have a set of slight used ones (10k-15k miles on them) that are in really good shape. I'll let them go really cheap. Let me know soon and I can put them in the mail tomorrow (12-24).

hey i just did mine about two days ago along with shimming my valves, new acces belts and tightening the timing belt and new plugs. and it's not too bad except the rear valve cover, that thing was kinda ***** to do for me. and here's and little somthing to help seal it better, when you push those new seals into the valve cover, put RTV sealer on them, and also between the heads and seals. it seals perfect:)

I don't see any reason you should need to replace the plugs themselves, if money is short. They might be a bit gunky from the misfiring, but just clean them up, check the gap, and put them back in. Brake cleaner works good for this, as it removes oil without leaving a residue.

BTW....your avitar is absolutely grotesque!!!!!!!

The easiest way I found to take the oil out is this..
If you have a air compressor put a rag over the hole and spray air down in there. It shoots all the oil on to the rag in a matter of seconds!!
