Oil on plugs? I just installed my cam the other day and a second ago I put on the rocker arms on side and was also changing my plugs and found oil on the second one(only changed 2 of them).I lubed up the rocker arms before I put them on does tihs have anything to do with it?My car has been sitting for a little over 7 months.

Re: Oil on plugs? Was the oil on the threads or on the tip? If it was on the threads it is probably from oil running down the outside of the head during valve cover removal. The oil puddles at the plug/head interface and deposits on the plug threads (or on the tip if rubbed in the oil) on the way out.
Nothing involved with a cam swap, including lubing the rocker arms, should result in oil inside the cylinder where it would have to be to get on the plug tips if the oil was not from the exterior.
