Any attempt this? Hard easy?? I'm not even sure if this is my problem yet....

My spark plugs are getting covered in oil, causing them to misfire. I'm gonna look at the small "o" o-rings near the valve cover first, but was told on another board that it maybe head gasket....

1998 Honda Prelude 144k miles, timing belt was replaced at 120, cam shaft seal replaced

I thought head gasket was just coolant.....why would this affect the oil on the spark plug?!

Is the oild comming from the top of the plug to the bottom or is it just the bottom? If its from the top down its probley your spark plug seals. If not if could be your valve seals leaking on to the spark plugs. Its not to common in most cases that the head gasket will cause oil to cover the spark plugs but i could.
