ok guys thanks for all the help on the tranmission got that replaced with the JWT combo kit its awsome by the way love it....ok so now I just changed my spark plugs and on the passenger side closest to the firewall I had a lot of oil pooled up in that spark plug.....I was doing my research and all I can think is that this is the known issue on these motors and I'll just need to bite the bullet and get that entire valve cover repalced since the spark plug seal is integrated....what do you guys think am i right? or is it just the gasket although I see no oil leak anywhere else but in that one spark plug area oh and did i mention when i pulled the spark plug out the tip was completely covered and dripping oil from it let me know thank you
