Replaced valve cover seal 2 yrs. ago due to oil leakage from main seal. Still OK. However, oil now leaks into the sparkplug cavities, completely fills them and shorts out the plugs. Have new plug seals to install, but "Should they be sealed with some kind of oil resistant sealant when replacing the cover"? Recommendations appreciated.
