Help!!

So, I had a guy paint my valve cover on my 95 civic and when he put it back on the seal wasn't on all the way so now it's spraying oil or fuel all over my engine so I took the valve cover off and it got some fuel down into my spark plug holes...I'm not sure if that's a really bad thing or not. Can I clean it out or what do I need to dO?! Help please....

pull the plugs out and spin the crank a few times, by hand or with the starter (whichever you think will be easier lol)

Spin the crank? What's that going to do?

[bumpstick]

move the piston to TDC and force the fluid out

[hcs1jimmy]

oh gotcha. so how do i turn them. Do i have to take the valve cover off? Has the oil ruined my spark plugs?

[bumpstick]

With the plug wires off and the plugs out, just turn the key and let the motor crank once or twice and that should do the trick. The oil shouldn't mess up the plugs, just wipe them down before you put them back in.

k, thanks man!

NP. Good luck. If you're still worried about it you can individually set each cylinder to TDC and use an air nozzle to blast them out.
