My spark plugs were swimming in oil. Here is why.

Here are some cam cover (valve cover) seals that separate the cover from allowing oil to seep into the plug holes...if you've ever found your plugs soaking in oil. Use FelPro:

OEM - Brown
FELPRO - Grey

Just looked like it was time to replace

Perhaps the photos don't show it clearly enough, but the OEM seals' lip was much smaller and thinner than the beefed up Felpro lip. I cannot see how the OEM one would have been approved for assembly on the motor.
