GREAT video! I want to change spark plugs and coil packs on my daughter's Rio today only to find a lot of oil where there shouldn't be any. This video is immensely helpful! Thanks a lot

These cars are so damn simple and easy to fix up and parts are cheap. Surprising that they are quite reliable. I have a 2006 Rio base model with a 5 speed with 188k miles no lights or anything still going strong as hell. Only thing i need to do is the struts, but im saving up for some lowering springs or coilovers. Its actually quite a nice car.

You’re right they are reliable! My 2010 Rio has 301k miles on it. Lower main seal leaks oil but I’m not gonna worry about it. Just gonna do the valve cover gasket and tube seals next week. Same problem with coils getting oil on them and causing misfires.

Try using a plastic scraper instead of a flathead screwdriver to remove the old the gasket. The metal will cause chipping and you don’t want that.

Dont need anti-seize on NGK's, they use a thread that will crumble instead of seize

Was hoping to see you do the tightening down of the bolts. I had issues getting the 2 bolts on the side in. Everything else was great

I had to put a little pressure on the top left corner to tighten the bolts on the side, that's how I got them in. Good luck 👍🏼

Thank you for the upload! I have a Hyundai Accent with same engine. I've been chasing a misfire for too long. There's a chance it's my PCV valve- after changing nearly everything else. Found oil all over my expensive new spark plugs, so I need to change those gaskets. What valve cover gasket are you using (appears to be quality silicone), how much, and does it come with the gaskets for the spark plug tubes? Thanks!

@DonOmie 2 жыл бұрын

I bought the valve voice gasket from Autozone and it did come with 4 spark plugs tubes. Here is the Autozone link www.autozone.com/external-engine/valve-cover-gasket/p/fel-pro-valve-cover-gasket-vs50705r/217584_0_0

@jeladsnikpoh1289 2 жыл бұрын

@@DonOmie thanks for the reply. I already got it done. The old sparkplug tube gaskets were shot, and likely the cause for the vacuum leak. Runs much better despite having one of the valve cover bolts break. Now to get that out and replaced!

Uh... Went a little crazy with that sealant, eh? Lol How's she running now? Any updates from the buyer? And was it running when you first bought it at auction?

@DonOmie 3 жыл бұрын

I know lol...I was just worried about leaks. It ran great after the valve cover gasket and the buyer is happy with it. It was running good when I bought it from the auction. It just had a leak around the Valve Cover and the Spark Plugs.

@m80thewolf86 3 жыл бұрын

@@DonOmie Thanks. Having a similar issue with my car, except it completely stopped running. But it looks like it completely blew out the old gasket and one of the tube gaskets because of a failed PCV Valve.

Ah amazing! I have changed my coils like 5 times in three years. Noticed oil on the coils and minor leaks under the car. Gonna do this! Question: are the old coils toast if they misfire? They are literally 3 months old and all 4 went out .. again!

@LilJay-qf1ob 3 жыл бұрын

I had oil on my spark plugs is it the gasket valve cover or the rings

@DonOmie 3 жыл бұрын

It can be both. I would replace both the valve cover gasket with the rings that go around the coils to prevent any oil leaks to your spark plugs. Good luck 👍🏼

Is it the same gasket for the 1.4 engine too?

I'm not sure. When you order it online, make sure to mention the size of your engine so you can get the correct gasket.
