Oil on Spark Plug threads and Tips..., Have pics of problem... Options

[Princess_Sparco]

When i first bought the car 2 years ago and changed the plugs. I noticed that there was some oil on the tip of 2 of the spark plugs. It didn't bother me too much then. A year later i changed the plugs again and there was oil on 2 of the plugs. On the thread and on the ground tips. Just recently I changed the spark plugs again, but this time, the same two plugs were dripping oil. the threads and the ground tip was covered in oil.

can anyone point me into a possible direction as to why this is happening? I originally thought it was the valve cover gasket (spark plug gromets) but wouldn't it leak oil on top of the spark plugs if that was the case? There's oil on the tip of the plugs which suggests to me that oil is leaking into the combustion chambers. I did a compression test awhile ago and the numbers aren't totally off. unfortunitely i dont' have those numbers anymore (lost them). if it helps you find my problem i can do another compression test.

I think the oil leak was the gasket. whoever had the car before me litterally hand tightened the four nuts that hold down the valve cover. since I already had the cover off, I charged the gasket anyways. I'll wait a week and see what happens.

Does anyone know the torque spec on the four nuts that hold down the cover?

i dont know the exact spec, but just dont over due it. give it a light turn and thats it.

if i what the exact spec, look over the BGB section on www.celicatech.com . youll find it in there somwhere.
