Valve cover gasket or Spark plug seals?

RatedEM · 02-17-2017, 12:35 PM

Hey guys, so upon changing my spark plugs I came up on oil in my spark plug holes. Now i purchased a VCG from ECS although do I also need to swap out the spark plug seals? Thanks

New VCG should fix your problem

The tube seals are part of the vcg

Hey also check around your oil filler cap. Mine was leaking all over the top of the engine into the spark plug holes. If yours is leaking you can buy a new one or get the new style one.

Thanks a lot man! How does it leak from that area though? I'm gonna go ahead with the VCG leak and also check out that part. Is it a simple screw on!?
