So I talk to a guy at the dealership today about the Oil on my spark plug. It might be one of the valve guides.

AAARGGGG

cause the oil wasnt on top of the plug where it connects to the coil. It was on the bottom.

So it could be a gasket, or one of the valve guides. Maybe its time for a stronger engine :P instead of a SC.

Any thoughts on what it could be.

 

It's probably just your tube seals leaking on the valve cover...

Was it on the plugs in the rear?

 

It was on the threading and near the tip where spark occurs

 

I figured it would get on the bottom when you plug the plug out because the top is covered by the coilpack.

 

oh ok, I get it. I'm kind of slow sometimes, specially when I have a headache.

would make sense. So its probably the seal thats bad and allowing oil to get on the thread of the spark plug then.

 

Yup, seems to be a common problem to those who have checked the plugs

 

Okay so when replacing this what all do I need to replace? Is it just the Valve Cover? or is it a whole assembly? final question should I go to a dealership or know any place online that I can order it?

 

Google 1st AAA Nissan. They've had the cheapest parts I've seen on the net.

You should only need both valve covers (if both sides) and both valve cover gaskets and all the other gaskets that have to be replaced from the things you remove.

 

I'm looking at all data.

I would just need, New valve covers, the Gaskets, and 6 new o rings. Lubrication/oil and such too.

Anything I should be careful about when doing this?

 

You shouldn't need the o-rings because I didn't have to pull the fuel injectors.

It's rather time consuming and more of a PITA than it should be but in a sense... its not too bad.
