Valve cover gasket

Well I opened my valve cover today and the valve cover gasket looks okay regardless I ordered one from Ebay. I have some oil in my 4th cylinder where my spark plug is. I made a thread a few months back about this and everyone said its the valve cover gasket. Any other suggestions?

There is no other way for oil to get in there unless someone poured it in. A new valve cover gasket should solve it. May as well replace the cam angle sensor o-ring as well as the plug wires if that one wire has been sitting in oil.

True, I swapped in BKR7E but I need to gap them. Does .35 sound right?

Yeah that sounds like a good starting place. Start wide and don't close it up untill you start getting ignition breakup/spark blow out.
