I forget about CarQuest (even though I used to work at one) because they closed the one I used to work at and the next closest are ~20 miles away.

I changed the plugs, and the old ones were in good condition, except the first two (on the left, and second from the left) had some oil on the top part of the threads. (The bottom part of the threads, near the sparking end, were clean.) Bad valve cover gasket? Michael
