I took my valve cover off to clean it. Then put it back using the same gasket cover. Major Mistake! Oil drained out, especially in plug #1. Car is now stuttering bad and occasionally stalling in first. I bought a gasket kit from Mazda and sealed it right, no leakage now. Still stuttering in 1st and 2nd though. Hooked up the car to a diagnostic machine which told me plug #1 is misfiring. Changed the plugs and cleaned out all the oil. Still doing the same ****. Change the plug wires next? Any Ideas?

Sounds like you need to get the oil out of the plug wire. Use an air compressor and blow it out.

There was a ton of oil in there. I cleaned it three different times but not with an air compressor. I'm thinking of just trying to get new or moderately used plug wire, but I'm not even 100% sure if that's causing the problem. I appreciate the feedback shumax.

You can also use a bicycle tire pump and shoot air down into the plug wire's hole. At the very worst you might have to buy new wires. At least it's not something worse, right?

Take care!

Thank You MacGuyver, seriously thanx shumax. We cleaned them pretty good the first three times I'm thinking that 1st plug wire might be shot. The plug and wire were submerged in oil. No exaggeration . Thanx for the info shumax!
