So I'm about to do mine for the 2nd time. Leaked worse than it did before I "fixed" it. My kit didn't have the grommets either. O'reilly's now said they can order the kit that has them. I really appreciate the fact that you showed the torque sequence and values. It's not a bad job unless you have to do it more than once because you didn't do it right the first time. Thanks again for the tips and information.

No problem Marvin.. I know my video quality isn't great and I don't mind. I just try and put common sense information out for others like me who don't want to pay someone else to do what We can do. Thanks for commenting, and watching.

Look at you go Mr Ron . When I grow up I want to be just like you! Awesome stuff young man!

Great job really helped.

Thank Carlos, I hope so. I'm definitely no mechanic but enjoy saving that $$

Do I let the new gasket maker by time chain dry first before putting cover on?

I didn't. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't let it seal if you done it that way. The "wet" gasket maker needs to conform to the contour of the shape.

Could you share with me the name of the service manual you use please?

Haynes Complete tear down and rebuild. Most parts stores will carry most of them, however sometimes you'll have to look on Amazon.

Did your vehicle engine smoked before changing valve cover gasket

It was smoking off the firewall side. The oil was dripping onto the exhaust pipe (which we thought could cause a fire at some point) so that's what prompted us to tackle this operation.

Thanks for watching. Just a poor middle aged man trying to save money lol. I'd have to look at it at the house for sure but it's one of the temperature sensors for the heater valve I believe.

@@KZreadFanatic916 yes sir. Two spots. Also like to add that for a solid week I left that Plastic cover off top and used a paper towel to wipe off the excess oi it seemed to take a week for everything to "dry up" around the valve cover. So if you do have some little lite spots don't panic

Did it leek at all after this video
