Spark Jumping to Headers

[frank213]

please help me two months ago i was inspecting in the night spark plug leaks when i noticed a blue real small Spark Jumping to the Headers from all 8 sparkplugs mostly from spark plug #1, since 2 months ago i have changed the spark plug wire like 5 times and i still get the same problem...its become real expensive replacing the plug wires, dos any body know what could be cussing this problem... i herd from friends that it could be my head valves cussing the problem if they where not properly adjusted ( i had my push rods replaced like six months ago)

i would think that perhaps the boot material of the spark plug wire is getting damaged. It the rubber in good condision or is it cracked? perhaps you could aspestos rap the spark plug boots to avoid heat damage if infact that is the problem.

i checked the the boot ruber and it looks in good shape, im going to sound like a dum azz but what is aspetos?

It's 86BC speak for using a spark plug boot/wire protector/sheath.

This was going to be my first suggestion too. Also, ensure your plug gap isnt rediculously large.
Good luck.
