Question

engine probs help?


Hey guys i have a n/t 99 eclipse and ibe got oil on my spark plugs i just found out it was my valve cover gasket causing that problem now ive got a new problem that i dont understand. On my MSD super conductor spark plugs wires number 4 cylinder it looks like rust on my plug wire but wipes off easy also its on the spark plug itslef they are brand new bosch 4+ plugs and im just wondering if its a bigger problem or the valve cover gasket again. Im gonna soon start building another engine when i get the money but i need this one in great running shape for a dd til then so any help or suggestions would be great thanks!

could be a little moisture getting in there.
But not much steel /rustable metal in the plug well.
But I dont know if it's just me I would suggest getting rid of the bosch plat's.
There are much better plugs to run.

+1 to better plugs than those. Get your hands on the correct NGK plugs for your engine. For the rust, use dielectric grease on the plugs and wires. It keeps the moisture out and helps conduct spark.
