Thank you for the video, well done. Just replaced my 09 gasket for $40 rather than $200 with the mechanic lol…although those spark plug seals were definitely a pain to take off
I don’t think the spark plug tube seals are a reason for burning oil. They only seal the tubes to prevent oil from seepage through them. If you don’t have oil spillage there, it’s not the seals. Also, replacing piston rings without replacing the block is a moot point, in my opinion. The cylinders are already shaped by the old rings and pistons, so installing just the new rings wouldn’t improve anything.
So after replacing spark plugs and ignition coils, I was still getting misfires... cylinder 2 seemed to have sum oil in it and a burnt spark plug. Am I right to believe the gasket n grommets are worn and need to be replaced?
What do u do if you so happen to break one of the valve cover head screws in the process how would you get the screw out with the screw head broken off?
Those bolts on the k24a2 can be removed with a 12mm open end wrench the nut is clearly visible when vc is off. Amazing he didn't snap it off using that extension!
Thanks for your feedback! This was preventative maintenance roughly at 60K miles/100K kms. Given the cost of the gasket kit and only an hour labour, totally worth it! Otherwise you would do it if you start seeing oil leaks or seepage from under the cover or through the tubes.
@@AcuraAddicted Great! Thanks! Keep making these awesome videos! I watch every single one you've made and they have been greatly helpful with my maintenance!
@@AcuraAddicted Good idea. I never changed my valve cover gasket and oil seals in my 2004 TSX. The oil got to my #4 spark plug and fouled the plug and coil.

Place gasket sealer here, here, and here (didn’t show where)
Obviously, that’s an immediate dislike, right? Thanks!

My wife just purchased a 2006 TSX. I noticed some seepage coming from the valve cover gasket. Thanks for the video. Weekend project now.
You’re welcome! Let me know how it goes after. Thanks!
Качественные у Вас масла. Делал такую же процедуру недавно у себя на МДХ.
Очень кропотливая работа. Но, судя по этому видео, ничего невозможного нет!
Это да. Все сопутствующие комментарии пришлось отредактировать :)))
Well done
LOL, that’s a record! 4 seconds!
Золотые руки!
Спасибо, мам!
Are the spark plug seals replaceable on a 2018 Acura TLX 2.4 engine?
They should be
Can the spark plug tube seals be a reason for oil birning? I replace the pistons rings and valve seals but my K24Z3 still burn oil.

Do i really need sealer ? Acura said it doesnt
Yes
@@AcuraAddicted which brand do you recommend

Yes

You will need a special extractor tool. It's inexpensive, you just have to get the proper size for your bolt.

Is this job done the same way for 04-08 tsx?
I don't know for sure, but likely yes.
Thanks for the video! What made you change it? How do you know when to change it?
