I think the main problem is the oil accumulation in the spark plug tube. If it get into the boot around the plug, could cause a misfire on that cylinder.

R&D is really starting to **** me off. i called today just to get an update on my order and the guy on the phone said he'd call me right back and never did. so ive been trying to call all day, and what do ya kno, no answer now. left a message, email, pms (which they dont ever answer) and no replies. all i wanna do is tell them i wanna order seals and gasket if the valve covers are on back order. freaking wasting my time waiting when i could be working on my car on my day off

Wats pissing me off more is I kno they have caller id Cus when I called n the guy said he'd call me back he read my number to me to see if he could call at that number so they were obviously screening my calls for watever reason. Why is it always after an order is put in these vendors are impossible to get a hold of.?

So screw r&d I don't have time to be chasing them. They already took down my cc info so if they out of the blue try to fufill the order after I've msged them to cancel the order they can't Cus I reported my cc lost lol so ill be issued new numbers n New cards. I put my order with l fab since communication with them is better.

Thats a shame RnD is not responding to you. L-fab doesn't have the best communication but at least they did respond and after a month and a half, my covers are on the way. I'll let you know how it goes. Sounds like they are having problems getting cores.

Good luck

Hey guys.

I've had my car over a year and a half and its at 103K miles.

I have no idea whether or not the tubes are leaking but I know that I want to change the spark plugs because I have no idea what the previous owner did to the spark plugs and whether they were ever changed.

So should I order these valve covers anyway and change them with the spark plugs if needed?

Or just wait and see which tube is leaking?
My car is a DD so waiting for my vavle covers to be repaired is not an option.

What do you think?
