Exelent video One thing to notice is that after you place the cover back, you have to make sure the spark plug tube doesn't pinch the gasket. If it does, you will have oil leak into the spark plug hole not fun. The way I did it was to sit the cover and start the screws and with my finger nails pushed the gasket outside the tube on bank 2 is not bad but bank 1 is a pain because the firewall you will need a mirror and a flash light. I hope this helps someone.
After doing this process Thanks to your video, (i have liked and subscribed), I have some smoke originating from the middle (like the area below the newly installed valve cover) if some smoke is getting into spark plug ports would that cause this? i have driven about 8 miles and still some smoke but not as bad as first 10 minutes was and no engine error codes yet. No signs of new oil dripping on my test cardboard box under car previously the car would leak oil actively onto ground. I know some say smoke no big deal its burn off but when should be a big deal? I did get entire valve cover and followed torque levels etc you provided.
Oil may have spilled onto the exhaust manifold or other hot engine components while working on the valve cover. Inspect the engine bay for oil residue and clean the affected areas with a degreaser. The smoke should subside once the oil burns off. If the valve cover gasket was not seated correctly or is damaged, oil can leak onto hot engine parts. If oil leaked into the spark plug wells during the repair, it could cause smoke as it burns off. Check the spark plug wells for oil and clean them thoroughly Inspect the PCV system and hoses for proper connection and functionality. Hopefully this helps!
Good video, sorry, I replaced the seals on the front valve cover, and when I put the screws in, I had one 10mm screw left over, about 2 inches long, and it has a mark on it like a zero and a line in the middle. I don't know where I removed it from. Do you have any idea where that screw might go, please?
I'm with you on that one, it's really hard to judge the quality. It felt as heavy compared to the OEM. The top of the cover has a different finish on it. Will it last another 130,000 miles? idk. Maybe not, but if I can get another 50k out of the ODYSSEY, I'll be happy. Sorry bud, this one is a gamble
Absolutely amazing video.
Thank you so much.
I'm happy to help. You're welcome

Thank you. Great Video
You're welcome, glad it helped.
This with the most helpful thorough video, thank you so much. And thanks for including the links
No problem, I'm happy it helped
FYI I think the wrong gasket set is linked in the description. I noticed it and swapped it before checking out.
@jimsey93 thanks
Superb video brother!! Thank you!

How did you take the intake inlet off that hose by the throttle body???

Can you put a link to the part numbers and where you bought them?
How is the quality of the aftermarket Valve Cover? The price is cheap but I am worried about the quality.

How are these valve covers holding up? Im interested in buying these
So far, so good. But they've only really been on there for about five months. So it's a little hard giving you a review on them.
"go ahead" and "proceed with" and "start to" all mean the same thing.
