ahh another big issue
i just popped my hood to throw an air filter in my car, and as i goto take my accordian hose off and realize my first spark plug wire is ejected. so i pull it out COVERED IN OIL, all 6 plug wires are coverd in oil and the spark plug tubes are all full of oil., what is causing this? spark plug tube seals? valve cover gasket?
|
check screws holding down valve covers they are common of coming loose because you can not get torque setting replace with bolts
|
Or it could be a bad valve cover gasket(s). They do have replacment bolts with an allen head instead of aluminum ones that strip easily. I dont remember where I saw them tho.
|
thanks, wheres a good place to get the gasket from?
|
I have the same problem...I also read about using silicone to seal the gaskets, also?
|
I had the same problem when I purchased my supra. I replaced valve cover gaskets, valve cover grommets, and torqued them to spec but I still had the mysterious oil in plug valley problem. In my case it turned out to be the No. 3 cylinder head cover gasket. Its that "cover" between the valve covers that is held on by 14mm allen head bolts. I ripped that pos off and bought custom oil drain plug gaskets, (from some sort of diesel engine) and it solved the problem.
