  • Great video! What is the lubricant you out on spark plugs holes?

  • Awesome vid!

    Really like how thorough you were in showing all the steps , particularly the dis-assembly of the ancillary bits.

    Great job!

    thx

  • Do we need new Valve cover bolt seals when doing this?

  • Good video. I have similar question to Jetubeb below. I have symptoms which make me think my valvecover gasket needs replacing - 1) I'm starting to smell burning oil inside the cabin, most strongly when sitting still and especially if my car's still but on an incline (my driveway is uphill and I smell it then every time)..... 2) My engine's running lean (won't a leaking valvecover cause a vacuum leak?), 3) losing oil at very slow rate. Figure it's a cheap thing to try, what do u think?

  • what are the symptoms to change a head gasket cover? what would tell when need to be changed

  • @Jetubeb no the head gasket is a different gasket that takes much more time to do

  • how often does the valve cover gasket need replacing, on average?

  • is this the same as the head gasket?

  • this video is great! thank you

  • @ydk2538 he said 10 newton meters
