Default replacing valve cover gasket/ accord / have ?

i have a 1992 accord ex. I have oil in the spark plug wells so am replacing those and valve cover gasket.
I have a couple questions.
When i have the valve cover off is there anything else i should while i have cover off like check valve clearance, etc?

2nd question
What exactly should i replace if oil is in spark plug well?

3rd question
Do i need to replace spark plug wires or can i just clean the oil from them?

yes good time to check valve clearance with cover off, and check for excessive sludge. oil in spark plug well replace the o rings to prevent oil leaking into plug well, and if the wires are under 100k wipe clean. if no misfire not necessary to change wires. if wire shows cracks or leaking ( white/gray power ) replace wires.

Use Honda parts to keep from making a trip back to the parts house.
