Spark plug Cleaner

[LEB Ben]

Newbie question alert!!!!!!!!!! Alright fellas, the #1 plug on the dside and the #3 plug on the pside get oiled up pretty good every 2-3000 miles or so, and I wanna clean them. Last time I just replaced them because it was that time. Anyway, I've never had to clean spark plugs before between changings, so what do I need to do/use on the oiled up plugs? Just wipe them clean with a rag...is there a fluid I should let them sit in...or just go buy a couple new plugs when they get too goobered up? Thanks for any input.

I'd put a new one in rather than try cleaning them, You might consider going one heat range hotter on the ones that are getting oily.

*Beware of spark plug sandblasters as it can be difficult removing all of the sand from the plug prior to reinstalling in the engine.

Alright...I figured it would probably be easier just replacing the plugs, besides for the $6 it would cost me to get new ones...I figured it would be worth it. I swear, with the money I've put into trying to cover up the oil problems, I coulda bought a sweeeeeeet replacement engine already...haha.
