Hi All,
My 1992 Toyota Celica quit running today. After repeated tries to the
car I pulled off the spark plug wires and found the spark plug tube
full of oil on two of the cylinders. Is this a head gasket problem? If
so, how hard is it to pull the head and replace it?
Thanks for the help,
Max

A head problem could allow oil to foul the spark plugs, but a more likely
cause is leaking grommets at the bottom of the spark plug tube in the valve
cover.

Go to this web site: http://oregonstate.edu/~tongt/camry/index.html and look
up the 1992 Camry with the 4 cylinder 5S-FE engine, page EG!-12 and EG1-13
to see the grommets.

Hi all,
It was the sparkplug tube gasket. Easy fix and the car runs great.
Thanks for the help!
