Default 3.8l 2000 chevy camaro manual transmission multiple problems.

hey been rebuilding this car for a while now starting to come together. But can't stop the spark plug wires from melting to the exahust manifold. An oil oressure staying bottomed out. I can hear the tap of no oil getting moved around. Also plug wires for cylinder 1 an 3 will not stay seated. Any help is appreciated thank you in advance.

Just off the top of my head based on your post, and not knowing more in depth information, you can get stand off for the plug wires that screw to the valve covers. As far as the (I assume) plug wire boots not staying on, hit the inside of the plug boot with some WD-40, that will let the boot slide on.
