If I remember, once the cover is off it's easy to replace those tube seals. What I had been thinking of aren't called tube seals, but o-rings, that would only leak onto the threads.

edit: damnit, I'm hoping it's the server that's making things crawl so badly :upset: Anyway, I know the gasket kit comes with those seals, maybe they come with the gasket automatically, though I don't think so, but you'll find out.

 

Done!

Total tool time = 1hr.
Parts replaced =

+ Plugs
+ Valve Cover Gasket
+ Plug Well Seals (?)

Way to go man :goodjob:

I'm so glad my engine's spark plug tubes aren't part of the valve cover.

 

So valve cover gasket kit comes with the plug seals? I think I need to do this to my car some time soon. Last summer when I had random no starts, I checked the plugs & wires. One or Two of them had some oil in the tube, but no where swamped as yours!

 

Gaskets can be bought with or without the spark plug tube seals. Just check to be sure they're included, wherever you buy it.

 

BTW, forgot to mention this, but I'd take a look at the PCV valve on that Accord, or just replace it since they're cheap... just because there was so much oil getting by those seals.

 

good point, I just got my timing belt other stuff done..didnt think of a new PCV valve

 

u can just clean those w/ carb cleaner.

as long as u can hear a little ball in there when u shake them, thye're good.

 

on the "cold starting" part, i dont konw if this is related, but i had problems starting my car everynow and then. i cleaned up the connection b/w my starter and the positive plug and it worked fine aftre that.
