@@Jrhortian I didn't do it yet, but I'm still putting 700+ miles on every week. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe the valve cover gaskets replacement will affect the oil on the plugs. The fouling of the plugs is caused by the VCM (Variable Cylinder Management) which alternates between shutting down 2 alternating pairs of cylinders while at moderate RPMs (not climbing, not accelerating.) As a result, oil collects in the 2 non-firing cylinders and causes 4 of the plugs to get gunked up. There is an electronic VCM tuner module which will disable this feature. I read that it doesn't make much difference in MPGs. Haven't installed it yet. I replaced my plugs quite a while ago with the NGK laser iridium. I suspect that they were developed for this type of problem, but I can't know for sure. They seem to be less prone to fouling out. In the meantime, I just make sure I drive it somewhat aggressively once it has reached full operating temperature to keep oil from building up in the VCM cylinders while keeping the full synthetic oil level topped off. The engine light doesn't bother me. I had 4 out of 6 gunked up as well back when I did it. I really don't know, I might be wrong. Will the valve cover gaskets and seals replacement prevent oil from entering the ignition chambers? (I'm not a pro mechanic)

Hey man. Nice video. But I have questions about the gasket. Why did you just apply only in the corners? Is it better put all the way around it? And do you put the sealant rtv on the cover first or after you put the gasket? Just curious sir. Thank you for this video!
Thanks! Those are the areas where oil will leak if sealant isn't applied. The gasket will seal the other areas. If the gasket doesn't stay in place, apply the sealant lightly, to hold the gasket to the cover.
Yes it was a lot easier watching this video cuz I seen some videos installing this I have an Acura I have to do is a 2001 doing the same thing thank you appreciate it and sharing this
no hate but I did this and it leaked after 2000 miles really really bad. the gasket sealer you used is from harbor freight, I used that same exact kind also, and it is not what you want. You want Hondabond OEM sealer, OR permatex ultra-grey/copper. I had to redo this job on my car bc of this wrong stuff.
Nah bruh you just didn't seal it properly. Lol My job ain't leak, so I know that's just ya opinion. I been doing this since 11th grade man. No hate. Check ya work.
💀🤣🤣 But u on my channel, talking bout do ya homework.🤣 I said what tf I said. You didnt do the job right if it's still leaking. Can't get mad at me for telling you the truth niccah.🤡 You did the fuxkin joh wrong dumbss boy.😆😂
@AmpereNA lol Mann plss. Don't get on my channel with that bullshit. I'm showing in my video how I did the job. You said you leaking oil and blamed it on the sealant.lol I told you it worked for me. Now that sound like you didn't didn't some shit right. Don't blame my video, hater.💀🤣🤡
I’ve been trying to remove the cover for about an hour and it won’t budge. I got the left side up but the right side by where all the coolant lines are at, it’s just not budging for me. Any suggestions?
@@ThePullUpKing also im trying to replace my rear vvt solonoid PN(15820-R70-A05), do you have any videos on that but this same exact car? ive already changed the sensors many times code still comes up, so now i have to replace whole piece. or do you have any tips on replaceing it, i cant seem to find a video on youtube.
The area where the tube seals sit on the valve cover where gouged out. I couldn’t attach a photo of it here. So, I texted the pull up king and he answered promptly letting me know that it needed to be replaced. Shout out to bro for the prompt response ✊🏽

Replacing the tube seals is what stops the oil on the plugs.

If this doesn't solve my issue... I hope it does. Thanks for the in-depth explanation Sir
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
Question, Did you also replace the alternator or just clean it off? The oil has been drippin on my alternator
Also did you need a new air intake manifold gasket ? I’m attempting this weekend
@@calebinorio100 The videos shows valve cover gaskets being replaced. Didn't touch the battery. Intake manifold gasket reusable.
@@calebinorio100 what did you end up doing? My valve cover gaskets leaked oil onto my alternator

Thanks alot and thanks for watching!
Think you could skip the back cover if its only leaking from the front?
No problem. Thanks for watching. I wouldn't recommend it. It's like replacing the front 3 spark plugs, but not the back 3. No recommended.
It's there a torque value for the valve covers and manifold? Actually for everything? Just wondering. Great video.
Yes sir, but I don't use them all the time. I can send them to you. Thanks alot and Thanks for watching!
Torque Specs
Valve cover bolts... 8.7ft/lbs.
Intake Manifold bolts... 16ft/lbs.
@@ThePullUpKing thank you for the torque spec ive been wondering the same thing great video thanks again my man

Valve cover bolts... 8.7ft/lbs.

Good job, but when doing this job I always clean the entire area first. This way no dirt of debris falls in
That's a good habit. Thanks for watching.
How did you clean those areas without taking anything off did you just spray it with the brake cleaner ?
Which areas are you referring to?
The area by the alternator
Yeah, brake cleaner

Make sure all the bolts & nuts are undone.

Use sealant.
Great detailed information

Ballpark. How much does that service cost on a 2007 Accord V6?
$500
Should be about 2.5 hour labor time plus parts so best to do the calculation based on YOUR local area shop labor rates and current cost of parts.
Thanks!
I appreciate that $5 bro🫡

Hey man maybe you can help me with my issue, i was removing my pcv valve and it broke. Everything came off except the very end of it. You think if I remove the front valve head I can push it out from the inside?
I would just break the pcv valve into little pieces with a flat head and fish the pieces out with a needle nose. Or you could take off the cover.
