I had trouble getting new valve cover bolt gaskets/seals on the bolts (tore through 2 of them following a method on another video). I ended up boiling water in a mug, then dropping the seals in the hot water for a little bit of time to make them more pliable. Then I applied a little dish soap on the center. I put the bolt head in a vice so that the thread end was up and applied pressure to the gasket/seal, mostly to one side of the gasket/seal, to force it on at an angle and it was successful.

This video fails to mention that the coils that attach to the spark plugs also have rubber gaskets on them that most of the kits include gaskets for. They're very easy to change. Also, lining up the round gaskets for each sparkplug well is tricky and if you don't do it right, you can tear them.

Also it had asked us to change both the coolant lines. Any ideas i am most appreciated. thank you

@subtlehyperbole4362 4 жыл бұрын

They go over this step so quickly in the video but it's REALLY HARD getting them on. I finally figured out the trick to it. You need to use your hands to press the ring up against the bevel on all sides evenly--if you keep pushing like that it will never go around, but here is the trick. When you have it pressing up against the bevel pick one side (wherever is easiest for you) to push harder on, then slowly move that extra pressure around in a circle until eventually the whole thing will make its way over the damn bevel. It's hard the first time but once you get it you'll be able to do all five. Basically you can only push it over in one location sufficiently at a time so moving clockwise around the thing will pull it over kinda like moving a key onto a keychain ring. . Best of luck.

Oh and don't forget to remove both parts of the old piece (both the hard rubber and metal pqrt) because once the new one is on its impossible to get it off without breaking it.

Most likely, unless somehow another leak gets thrown up to those spots specifically, without leaving any traces or residue anywhere else, and gets into the ignition coil tubes UNDERNEATH the plastic caps. So basically, there's not a higher point under the hood from which oil could leak into there, which makes it near impossible that it's anything else. You can probably get the gasket set at an Autozone or something at a higher price if you don't want to wait. One of my coils is absolutely covered in oil, so I'm going to be doing that.

hardest part was trying to remove the spark plug seals. if they are dry rotted the easiest way to remove it is to use a screwdriver to lightly CHISEL it out. BUT NOT from the bottom backside you have to do it from the TOP side looking down

A cringe worthy oversight was leaving the gaping hole of the oil fill cap off during the entire reassembly. Keeping dirt out of the engine compartment used to be a priority, has something changed?

This car has an after market colder in take. stock vehicles may be more difficult because you have to remove the throttle body air Box.

I just did this today. Fortunately I did not need to remove the stock airbox. I found that just removing the top cover of the air filter gave me a enough clearance to get the vent hose off and get the those plastic clips off the posts in the back.

Nice job dumping a TON of sand into the engine at 3:32, geez.

Please re-do this valve cover gasket video using a standard Honda Civic with a normal air cleaner. I have a square box in back of the engine. I had to totally remove the AC piping bracket from the engine and the host guide bolted to the front of the valve cover. It is MUCH harder than you make it seem in this video especially with teh racing air cleaner on this car. This video is quite misleading and I expect better from you.
