Spark plug well is NASTY
So during my engine freshen up (new seals, paint, reroute, etc.) I noticed my #3 spark plug well looks like utter **** - a combination of crusty white and orange colored sludge.
Sorry, no pictures as the lighting was too dark for my iPhones sensor/iso to handle.
Any idea what this could be? VC oil leak combined with water? Corrosion? The plug insulator looks fine. I haven't pulled the plug yet as I want to clean the **** out first - need to find an appropriate wire brush.

Muahahaha
how is the condition of the rubber cup that contacts the valve cover on that particular plug wire???
probably a mixture of water, oil, and rust from the moisture in there... do you wash your engine alot?
EDIT: damnit, already beat to it
