ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Oil in spark plug wells? Be aware there are 2 sets of O-rings

    If you're finding oil in your spark-plug wells and have already tried cleaning them out and snugging the valve cover bolts, you'll have to replace some seals.

    FYI that there are actually two sets of seals that keep oil out of the spark plug wells, the valve cover o-rings, and another set below the rocker-arm cage. If you clean out the wells really well, you can sometimes see if it's the upper or lower seals which are leaking after a few miles by tracking in the wells.

    The upper are simpler to do, try those first if you can't see which ones are leaking and if they don't solve the problem, you have to pull the rocker arm cage and replace the lower ones.

    This video gives an idea (his torque values -among other things, are questionable, but it gives you an idea if you're doing this for the first time):
