Have you used the correct spark plugs and are they set at the correct gap? if iridium plugs are fitted these are not gapped and if they have been dropped on the electrode they will be no good now.

We've found oil were my spark plugs are. we're gonna replace the valve gasket cover. Would I need to replace my spark plugs again? (And yes the auto store told me they were recamemded and they were gaped to what they said) My coils look pretty Nasty like they have oil gunk all over them. Can I clean them some how or do I need to replace them. I know one Is Almost brown and looks pretty bad I'll probably replace this one. But should I replace the others Or clean them Off?

Do the gasket and the plugs will be fine, you can clean the coils with something like brake clean, but if one look particularly bad replace it to be safe.
