Not sure what happened to my previous post on this. Seems to have disappeared. The story goes like this. Replaced coils and valve cover gaskets at 95k miles. Now at 172k miles engine starts to rumble. So I check driver side plugs, oil! Replace gasket and coils on drivers side. Plug wells are filled with oil, coil rubber is crumbling from bathing in hot oil. Seem to run fine, but still a slight rumbling. So remove plugs on passenger side! Whoa! More oil! Gasket failure 2! So replaced coils, gaskets and plugs. Then while I was in there, replaced PCV elbow and PCV valve. Engine now runs like new! So sweet! 172K miles.
