My apologies, I had assumed since I quoted part of my previous post that it would be clear what I have already done.

I changed all the valve cover gaskets, including the ones under the rocker assembly. I'm still getting oil in #1, #3, and #4 spark plug tubes. I am not getting anything from the oil filler.

How else can I be getting oil in the spark plug tubes?

Thanks.

What brand of gasket did you use?

Did the upper seals look like a shaft seal, or did they look like they had a rubber sleeve in the middle?

Generic gaskets from Pep Boys, not sure what brand.

Not sure what you mean by shaft seal, they didn't have a rubber sleeve in the middle. They were circles with a couple of small circular notches in them.

I've looked up the upper seals online, I'm pretty sure they didn't have the rubber sleeve inside. Guess you get what you pay for! What brand gaskets do you recommend?

For aftermarket brand, I like felpro gaskets. You can get the whole set for around $20.

The 95 EX had a different upper seal compared to the 95 LX/DX. By looking at the EX upper seal, you would install it upside down.

It sounds like your 93 LX has a seal that is pretty much a thick rubber washer with a channel cut out on one side.

The channel on my EX faced the hood of the car, because the sleeve in the center sealed the upper part of the spark plug tube. I don't know which way the channel faces on the LX/DX accords.

Default oil on the spark plugs

watch on youtube , eric the car guy video about fix in this problem. i just did it to my son's car. when you buy the valve cover gasket , it comes with 8 seals .4 are for the tubes under the valve cover and the small rings are for under the valves itself. you must remove the valve assembly to get to those. its not really that hard ,.watch his video
