When I change the spark plugs, oil seeps into the cylinders from around the tubes. How do I stop this from happening?

Also the proper "O" ring is important even if you have the cups. The only ones that work for me is John Arruza,s sales them,, He also has a great V/C gasket. thick. lube the tube some when you slide them on. Wont damage Ring. I will ask this, Does ur spark plugs have the crush washer on them? If they do you will have oil every place.
Keep it outta the Ditches!
I like the cup idea. As for orings, they seem to fit well, and as for gaskets on the plugs, yes there are gaskets. Should I not have the gaskets on the plugs?

Summit has them, but they are a bit expensive, $150.
it was a while ago, but i didn't pay near that much for them. search around and you can find a better deal.

Dont use the washers, cutting them off is harder than just unscrewing them.
