The Joys of My Car...

Well, after 2 1/2 hours I finally have my valve covers back on my car after replacing the gaskets. (30V). I could swear being as careful as I possibly could I still broke 2 vacuum lines. I just bought hose and spliced it over the broken ends because I just dont give a shit anymore.

Now, I am gonna go pull the plugs out and let the oil drain down into the cylinders (cylinders 2, 3, 5, and 6 had so much oil in them you couldnt see the plugs.)

Do any of you think this could be from them overfilling my car by 2 quarts last week when they did the oil change? When I checked the oil 2 days later I noticed it and I drained some out, but my problems started the next day (misfiring). I dunno, I'm still going to go give them an earfull either way because I feel like bitching at someone, even though theres no point right now.

Thats what I figured it was... I just was thinking the valve cover gaskets had to have been going bad either way. Problem solved, and I'm happy its running right again. I havent done a tuneup in the 30K I owned the car until today when I replaced the gaskets, and it feels like a completely new car, minus the fucking suspension squeaking.

just stick peices of newspaper (leave overnight) in the spark plug holes. it will soak that shiz all up

What all did you do for the 30v tune up?

[SpoolinPelican]

stick the end of a squirt bottle sprayer down there and spray it in an old bottle or something.
