Hey I just found your channel it's a long story I found you through some comment sections you should get into going live stream on KZfaq vertical. There's not too big of a community of car people on KZfaq live streams yet. Seen some street racing in Texas and also Rob motive goes live like twice a week but other than that I don't see a whole lot of car community especially for the JDM scene. Think about it, even if you just start off sitting in a chair shouting people out for subscribing. I subscribed to your channel so if you go live I'll have the notifications 👍🏼

When I bought my 03 wrx in 2019 the engine had just been rebuilt, but developed a pretty bad leak on the P/S one. I took it to the shop to get it fixed under warrenty but didn't get the warrenty cause the previous owner didn't bring it in for the 500 mile break in oil change. Wound up paying almost $800 for the job. Definitly wish I would have just done it myself, but I was getting ready to leave for boot camp. Worst part about this whole thing was it started leaking again 1 week before I shipped out, so i didn't have time to fix it. I refuse to go to that shop ever again just because they didn't honor a warrenty over something i wasn't responsable for, and that they didn't fix the problem after I paid for the job to be done. Tried contacting the previous owner to see if i could get him to cover the cost aswell but he blocked my number, so i just let it go cause I was focused on getting ready for boot camp at the time.

Awesome video detaling step by step on how to perform Passenger side Valve Cover Gasket RnR. I'd suggest getting the complete kit and just replace all of the gaskets. Make sure to shop around for the entire kit as you may find it at a lower cost elsewhere [ebay, rockauto, local parts shops, dealer, etc.]

Its seems like its destiny because my wrx is throwing smoke from the turbo area! And i dont know how to replace the valve covers and half moons, but now with your video seems to easy definitely gonna try it soon, thank you so much!

Does it look like the valve cover is leaking? If it’s near the turbo it could also be the CV boot. Glad you found this video helpful

Very helpful video! May I ask how you undid the clip for the coilpack wires to the valve cover? I'm afraid I'll break it.

@CompressorSurge Жыл бұрын

It wasn’t too difficult. I believe there is just one clip you need to press to pop it off. How many miles on your engine?

@ericleung7947 Жыл бұрын

@@CompressorSurge Thanks, Im in the mist of it now. Was able to pop it off with a flathead. The biggest pain is trying to get all the old rtv off, esp the area behind timing. Bottom left bolt was easy with a flexhead ratchet wrench. Going to do a practice dry install without the gaskets and rtv so I can navigate the cover around the frame and timing cover to not smear or roll the gasket. Its on a 60k s204 motor.

@CompressorSurge Жыл бұрын

Glad to hear it worked out. S204 engine? Nice! I’ve been keeping an eye on the gaskets in my STi and so far they look good.

What sections did you add rtv? and did you apply on the head or on the cover?

Which side is leaking? How much oil is it? You could wipe what oil you see and keep an eye on it

@vlmoua Жыл бұрын

Did you drain the oil first? And was there a gasket between the black piece that sits on top of the valve cover?

@CompressorSurge Жыл бұрын

I didn’t drain the oil first. Are you referring to that black triangle piece?

5w30 on the WRX and the STi.

@noahlee1001 2 жыл бұрын

Dumb question, but did you use any kind of glue? Or sealant when putting the gasket back on?

@CompressorSurge 2 жыл бұрын

Technically you shouldn’t need to but I used a little perametx grey gasket maker sealant. Regardless what you decide to do just make sure to REALLY clean the channels the valve cover gaskets sit in. The last thing you want is to have a leak right away and need to redo everything. I use the sealant as extra insurance.

@jaysworld5378 2 жыл бұрын

I have a question and it might be a dumb question because I don't know almost anything about auto mechanics. But if you were to unmount the engine to lift it up a few inches as you mentioned, since the engine is connected to the transmission, does that put any stress on where the engine connects with the transmission OR because you would only lift it a few inches, the stress would be negligible? OR there really isn't any stress at all? Also where are the mounting bolts located?

@CompressorSurge 2 жыл бұрын

It would be negligible. Realistically you wouldn’t lift it that much. The biggest concern would be to the wiring that is connected to the engine. I was able to complete both sides without moving the engine at all. It’s a little tricky but it’s doable if you’re patient. Are you planning to do this repair yourself?

Can I ask you what belt part number you've got for your accessory belt? I tried to get one the other day from Autozone but it was WAY too short and didn't even come close to fitting around the crank, compressor AND tensioner.
