Your videos are awesome!! This is the ONLY channel that deals with the DOHC EJ25D and actually understands that it is MUCH harder to work on than the SOHC EJ251 (and EJ253) One suggestion: iridium spark plugs, which are supposed to be good for 100k
@@legacynorthwest1249 Thank you kindly! I was asking because the passenger side lower left bolt on the valve cover that I replaced looks like it is leaking just a little.
@@legacynorthwest1249 The gasket kit is Fel-Pro. I don't think I tightened it enough as it is the one on the lower left corner on the passenger side and there wasn't enough room to get a socket on it so I used a wrench.
Excellent video. Totally demystified valve cover gasket job! Thank you.

I have been advised to use red RTV in this replacement. I’ve never done so, is that something I should be doing?

Hmm.. try tightening them a tad bit more. Hopefully you didnt over torque them? What brand did you use?

@@johnhansonjr.2971 give it another tug with a small wrench, i bet its just loose.

Yep!
