Nice video, but I always check or replace the spark plugs as well, while I have the cover off on where it is necessary to remove the cover to access them. Your videos have been very helpful! Maybe you could do more Mazda 6 videos that include all years that the 2009 is the same, depending on specialty vehicles like the Touring model. Explaining what the different sensors are for is also very helpful when you come across them, depending which video that you are doing. Keep up the nice work, and thank you!! :)

What about adding petroleum jelly to the gaskets on install? This would also keep them in place when you flip the cover back over to install. And also keep the seals moisturized.

What's the name of the sensor by the oil cap? I'm planning on doing a valve cover job and that's one of the areas it's leaking from. Also is there another gasket specifically for that sensor?

@famaniii 2 жыл бұрын

This is the VVT (variable valve timing) sensor and it was causing a misfire failure for me. It is why I was opening the valve cover in the first place but as it turned out, the cover was leaking in the center gaskets into the sparkplug holes. Did the whole thing in a morning including an oil change (this is recommended when changing the sensor).

@famaniii 2 жыл бұрын

PS there is the oil O-ring around the sensor in the valve cover but mine was fine.
