90 Civic valve issue...

hey , i just bought a civic, 1990 and it has a similar issue, but
don't think it is the actual rings, just the rubber rings at the top o
the cylnder where the plug wires go in. they look old and worn and on
of them is letting a little bit of oil into the cylnder. i was told b
a good friend who is also a very good mechanic friend that if you jus
swap out those rubber rings, you should be fine. does anyone know ho
to do that or where i can get some information for the job? i'm goin
to try to do it myself.

How about your very good mechanic friend? He wouldn't give you any info?

 

Here's one place:

problem is he's on the other side of the continent or else for sure
would. i'm going to poke around in there today, bought a hayne
manual, etc. he did say that those rubber rings should be all that i
needed to be replaced. doesn't sound like a big job, just wanting t
find out if anyone knows a little more about it
