I just bought the integra about a month or so ago. So I wanted to go ahead and give it a tune up. After pulling out my plugs to see witch ones the guy before used I noticed that their was a lot of oil on the threads and tip of the plug. I know this just might be "blow by" but it was quite a bit of oil on there. I don't think I burn oil and have any leaks so is this a big issue? Any clue where I should go from here?

Is it oin all spark plugs or just one or two? I had that problem before and the rubber gaskets on the bottom of the valve cover were not sealing up correctly. Get new ones and clean then real good and try to get them to seal. That should be the problem.

Yeah, I just replaced the valve cover gasket and gromets a few weeks ago. I'll check that out. Thanks for the tip.

It has to be that. If not the only other thing that enters my mind is a small crack in the head. They tell you to replace the old groumets everytime you take the valve cover off. They saturate the oil and get hard. When you take it off and put them back on it doesn't seal properly. Mine got to the point that there was so much oil in there that it would not start. So every 2,000 miles or so I would have to put a rag in the hole and soak the oil up. After that it would fire right up.
