@flat absolutely 🔥🔥🔥 no more leaks, this is amazing❤️
God bless you, man! This was the most comprehensive car repair video that I've ever watched.
I’d recommend a good cleaning around the valve cover before removing so you don’t have crud falling into your engine. Also, adding the rtv to the cleaned metal surface the gasket sits on, so you’re not wiping it off on other parts in the engine while trying to install the cover. Helpful video nonetheless, thanks!
The part that I thank you the most for its where you explain were to put the silicone and in what quanity, that part was really important. thank you!
You're doing a nice job bro, very useful, love this model of accord, so good. I'm driving 1992 accord and just replaced valve cover gasket for some months like this, just subscribe to support your channel.
Great video, simple, to the point, dedicated camera, keep it up.
Very good video, great detail to job at hand as well as progress and process details . The envy of every car owner is this type of detailed attention in their mechanic. Would make a great maintenance school instructor. Thank your mentors , they've done a great job. and thank you for wanting to learn and do things correctly. The best in the future.
I really needed this… thanks
Another Excellent and very clear Video on your 7th. Generation Honda Accord.. A wonderful machine, IMO. -- Will be looking for more from you on this car --Thank you and best wishes.

We might have another one soon! The radiator fan died a few days ago, so that will need fixing
I'll bet this video helped a lot of people. I have a 2005 i4 with 105k miles that has this exact valve cover leak. The thing is, I bought this car new, and has been pampered: garaged in CA, engine oil changed every 5k, ATF changed every 2 years, driven delicately, etc. Yet, I still have this problem. If I have this problem, I know everyone has this problem. So thank you! You helped us all.

I’d watch Eric The Car guys video as well. It’s a little more in depth and detailed.
Nice video brother, keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for making informative video I appreciate you buddy
Thank you very helpful looking forward for the next video
Wow!! Lost of words thank you 🙏
Good video, very helpful!
Thanks for your video bro very informative
Excellent Stuff Here
Good job man
I recommend Honda bond. Also apply the silicone to the engine not rubber. I would apply a bead the the whole back side too. K20 engine are notorious for leaking from the back of the valve cover
Very clear.good.
What are the 4 extra grommets for that come in the kit??
Which of the 2 circular seals should i use? The one with the metal stiff ring or the rubber one with protrusion?
I have a question. Didn't give you a problem after you changed his stamp?
Can anybody tell me the part number it would be really helpful please and thank you!
I just did this, if i did it again id put the rtv on the head rather the cover, i think theres way less chance of getting smeared, like you did in the video
Are they vtec? Are they meant for performance too? #k24A4??
You was suppose to put the black cream inside before you added the cover

Where did you get that impact gun? Great video bro!

Can I use any type of RTV sealant for the valve cover gasket?

You just need to make sure your rtv is good to use where oil will be, I believe that is the purpose of black rtv

I've seen that a lot actually since this video, probably will just use that in the future as well
With that Felpro gasket kit, you will for sure come back to replace the gaskets with an oem ones because they will leak, they are not of quality.

Oh man I'd have to hard disagree with you on that one, we've essentially only used Felpro on all of our cars and never had problems unless we installed wrong, e.g. used too much silicone or torqued it incorrectly
Wait so your telling me. If I wanna spray my valve cover I gotta replace the gasket for it to?

@@VeryGoodGarage kinda makes sense also. Do I have to mask off the underside of the valve cover ?
Good job brother ☝🏻🤓
So don’t bother taking the oil out then right? It’s cool just like that.
Fairly easy job - mechanic is tryna charge me $400 - $500 for this shit
