spark plug grommet...?
do you mean the round seals that go into the valve cover and seal the tubes from the top? or do you mean the spark plug tubes themselves? where does the oil accumulate? if it accumulates inside the tube where your ignition wire meets the top of the spark plug you need to pull out the tube and reseal the bottom of it. -------------------- |
