good info about finding oil on spark plugs top or bottom side thanks. Wish I could find a trustworthy and affordable auto repair shop. DIY till the wheels and engine lock up and fall off. Cars and trucks today are bloated with tech and cheap crap with high price tags. Also what do you drive or like to work on? and whats some issues you face in your line of work with some cars and trucks.
It could be one of a few things. Not necessarily this. In my case, the rocker cover was loose, probably from the factory, letting a little oil through the seals into the SP well. All it needed was tightened.
Love your videos bro! Would this bad seal create acceleration lag? Its Wierd out of nowhere the car wont accelerate then it jumps about a thousand rpms. Please answer my man😊
Working on a 2017 Porsche Cayenne S V6 3.6L twin turbo, appears to have small leaks around the valve covers. Two questions for you it appears I have two sensors on the end of each valve cover. Not sure what they are. Second question once I get down to get in the valve covers off, is the orange RTV really necessary with the new gaskets.?? Thank you
Exactly the problem i have.. mechanic did ever bother to look further or run and compression tests etc and just said you need a new engine :(... mine is a 1.8 2009 ford focus petrol. hoping to go it fixes it. Question, what it 1 plug well is dry but 3 have oil in ? could that still be the seal or its it somthing worse ?
In case this helps anybody.. I was getting a misfire on cold starts, car sitting for 10 min or so.. turns out it was a loose valve cover. I torqued it down to spec all was fine then issue showed up 2 months later. Tightened her up likely above spec and all is good. Maybe it was a out of spec gasket idk.
Hi brother, I need help or suggestion from you because i took my 1997 Toyota Tacoma to Toyota dealer and they replace valve gasket, cylinder head , spark plug gasket , oil filter housing , front crank seal, flush brake fluid and cooling system and my car running rough while stop on the red light pl advise Thank you.
That’s not necessarily true, in most cases, it’s the spark plug tube itself, and not exactly the tube seal, because oil doesn’t rise that high in the valve cover, you would have to pull the spark plug tube and reseal it.
That's not necessarily true either. The oil doesn't get "high" but between the pressure and the splash it can sneak past the valve cover spark plug seal if its crack/worn out. I see this all the time.
Gmc, Ford, dodge (perhaps others) have similar designs. I have a GMC Acadia that uses that longer coil pack. no messing around with all the long spark plug wires. pretty simple really. Its the removing all the intakes and what not that is a pain to work with.
@@nyflo718 If there is more than a tablespoon of oil - extract it out. If it's less, leave it, the oil will burn off once the car runs for a couple of mins. Hope it helps, good luck.
I loosely cover the plug holes with a paper towel (with a little weight to hold it down and turned the engine over to have the pressure blow it out. Works like a charm.
I had this problem today and you're just answer my questions. Thank you my friend!

@nowayjosue660 was just the rocker cover gadget

So you think it’s the coil seal?

How to fix oily spark plugs on Hyundai i10
Same concept as he showed.
To much seal makes sense
Stupid design! What brand is that?
Gmc, Ford, dodge (perhaps others) have similar designs. I have a GMC Acadia that uses that longer coil pack. no messing around with all the long spark plug wires. pretty simple really. Its the removing all the intakes and what not that is a pain to work with.
i removed the spark plug and some oil got into the cylinder im not sure how much.....is this going to effect anything?
It won't cause damage, if you are really worried - put a narrow tube in the hole and suck out the oil that got in there
@@GP5zona thanks bud, i read some people online saying it could hydrolock the engine, i just wanted to make sure

Would that also cause over heating
