Oil on spark plugs

I have oil on 5 of my 6 spark plugs. What do i need to do to fix this?

 

how long has it been since you last did plugs? is the engine consuming a lot of oil??

 

the plugs actually look good and not fouled. Looks like you have oil from an external location leaking onto them. Check your valve cover gasket.

 

I got the truck in October of 2018. It had a 109k. I changed the spark plug in July of 2019 At 127k to 130k. The spark plugs I took out of the truck were the original spark plugs from the factory. Now the truck has 156k on it. And from what I can tell is not using oil. I get the oil changed every 5000 miles. And I use full synthetic oil.

 

It happened to me once long ago but not this bad. My plugs kinda loose at the time.

 

I'm not really going to worry about it too bad I'm going to get this fixed. I can't afford to buy a new truck with the prices that they got going on right now. Hell I think a new engine would be cheaper than buying a new truck.

 

You probably need a new valve cover kit with both outside and plug hole gaskets. Not too difficult to do.

 

I should be able to buy everything in one kit shouldn't i?

 

Should i get New Ignition coil packs too? I'm just thinking I should get everything new and that area.

 

Remove your valve cover gaskets and replace the tube seals along with the valve cover gaskets as well. They are allowing oil to protrude into the spark plug tubes causing what you are now seeing. You must have some high mileage on them.

 

Valve Cover. Either the bolts need to be tightened a little or you need new gaskets. Tighten the bolts first and see if that stops the leak. Clean the area well first.
A couple good pics of the area would be helpful.

 

Plug hole gaskets need replacing or the plugs weren't torqued down correctly.

 

My truck only has 156k. When i got it, it had 109k. I got the truck in October of 2018.

 

Well right now I don't have pictures to send you. And I'm not going to be the one doing all this work. I have a mechanic that will be doing the work all I have to do is buy the part and he's pretty cheap on doing the work. And no he is not a shade tree mechanic. He has his own shop behind his house and he owns his own towing service.

 

look at this thread and see of your engine looks like this one: If so, you have your answers

valve cover gaskets

 

I believed this was what happened to me. I did not/ forgot to torque my plugs because they were really loose.

 

No my truck engine looks nothing like that. The engine is clean from what I can tell I don't see Oil anywhere. And there's no oil on the ground under truck. I just had oil changed last week.

 

Yeah, it's just average change out time due to high mileage on the gasket material and that's all it is.
