How do you clean oil from plug holes before installing new plugs?

If you have oil pooling in the spark plug wells from a leaking valve cover gasket or sloppy top-up, before you pull the old plugs use an engine cleaner such as Foamy Engine Brite(R). Hose the engine off while it is cool then start it up and run it to boil off the water. Any little bit of oil left after that is not a concern. You should put a little anti-seize grease on the threads of the spark plugs going into an aluminum head, anyhow. A little oil in the threads will serve a similar purpose.

How to clean oil in the spark plug tube do to bad valve cover how do you clean the oil out from inside where the plugs go in?
All you have to do is take the ht leads out (or rail if you have one) take the spark plugs out, put a rag over the holes and turn over the engine. This will spurt the oil onto the rag. Leave open for an hour or so and the oil will drain away. Clean with a rag and make sure you clean the plugs and leads too. Replace and your car should run much better than before!

I understand that, originally, receptacles had 'nipples' that locked into the holes in order to hold the plugs in place. Although I don't think this is still the case. Anyone else out there to confirm this?
