Does anybody have the answer on how to prevent oil running into the combustion chamber while changing the spark plugs in a hemi?   :scratchchin:

No. But then it is very small amounts that get in. I just fire it up and go.  :popcrn:

Not sure as I'll never be able to own  a Hemi, but sounds like it might be time to do plug tube seals...

let it sit a few hours before removing the plugs helps quite a bit

Do you pull out the spark plug tubes? I leave them in and slip a piece of vacuum hose over the head of the loose plug and pull it out. Milidon makes (or maybe made) tube seals that slide into the sparkplug hole and then the spark plug tube slides into it. I have an extra set of these if you're interested.

Those Milodon things are good. They also help with the thicker than original valve cover gaskets.....helps get the tube fitment back in line.
