Will this cause oil on the spark plugs from the leaking? But only on the threads, the rest of my spark plugs are clean

Usually the plug valley will fill up, even covering part of the spark plug boot. So it's only oil at the threads and below, nothing above the crush washer? If that's the case then unfortunately you have a much bigger problem. :(

Is it safe to replace the bad gasket with rtv silicone?
@travis4572
Жыл бұрын
No do not just use rtv purchase the correct gasket for your vehicle. Use a little rtv where needed a very small amount. And make sure to clean the surface of both the engine and the valve cover itself. When cleaning old gunk off make sure to wipe it out tword you as not to get it into the engine

Man I’ve been searching for the my p0303 code for a month. Changed out the spark plugs, wires and ignition coils. Add an aggressive fuel injection cleaner. Nothing. I noticed a leak of oil from the valve cover where cylinder 5 and 3 are at. hopefully this solves the issue. Truck runs great just pops that code from time to time.

So I have been chasing code after code, so now here we are left with the last 4 codes, bank1&2 lean, Catalyst both banks below threshold, LTFT is sitting at 33 at idle. I have been hunting down what the heck could still be leaking, then I did my spark plugs and saw oil and put two and two together, pcv directly to intake is on valve cover.
@matthewpetersen4417
Жыл бұрын
@theory816 So I solved it, I was watching bank 2 being rich and not paying any attention to the lean on bank 1. So ripped apart and replaced valve cover gaskets, and pcv valve, egr O ring and intake upper and lower. Car runs mint. Still have a fluctuating idle sitting in drive. But I am going to address the transmission too, filter and fluid.

@theory816 when I blew my timing belt it was negative 5 degrees out, I kind of screwed that one up myself, gasket was smooshed and twisted, and after I was done, I didn't do the pcv valve yet, my first ride smoked out the hood, PCV valve went completely.

Would oily spark plugs be one of the symptoms? I was changing the spark plugs on my 2010 chevy colorado with a 5 cylinder in line and the front 2 were dirty with oil stains And the rest were dry.

How do you tell if you need to replace engine and cabin filters?
@z34diaz30
Жыл бұрын
If you put the air filter infront of light and you could see the light through the filter it’s still good. If not then it needs to be replaced. I usually change mine every 12k miles. The cabin filter usually you could smell a bad smell when you turn on the ac. Sometimes it’s the cabin filter other times it’s mildew that grows from the water left after using your ac

I replaced my valve cover gasket two times now in 2 months. It was leaking fresh oil the 2nd time around. Could this be the mechanics error the first go around?
