Default !!!!!oil on spark plugs!!!!!
picked up a gsr swap for a friends crx, and the spark plug electrodes are soaked with oil. oil is slightly puddled at the bottom of the spark plug tube. plug wires and porcelin are clean and dry. all valve cover gaskets including spark plug seals and grommets are brand new. motor ran nice for a while now it wont start

did you replace the spark plug seals with the valve cover gasket? they are known to go bad on hondas and usually come with the valve cover gasket kit.

If oil is in the spark plug tube it came from the top. Looks like the spark plug seals were installed wrong.

do a cylinder leak down test. if the electrodes are oil soaked, you may have bad rings. g/l
