- This is a How-To video on how to replace the Valve Cover Gasket, and how to prepare the valve cover for the new gasket! I give tips and show how it's done! Feel free to ask any questions, I respond!
If you slightly pry back those hoses with a small screwdriver you can squirt a small amount of wd40 in the hose fitting. It will then slide right off like nothing.
thanx for the guide just did the gasket on my eclipse wouldn't of done it myself if it wasn't for this video. every bolt is 10mm and the bigger bolt was a 12mm.
Squiggles Hey, glad to help out! Thank you for your reply!
Hey there I watched your video on removing the dried gaskets and i was doing the same thing that you were doing, it was a real headache so i called a junk yard to see if they had any valve covers for my gallant and i told him my problem with the gaskets being super heated and dried he told me do not heat valve cavers it may warp them and instead get some Acetone and submerge the covers in it and i did and what a difference those gaskets just dissolved and they came out so much easier just wanted to let you know this vid is from 2016 and it is Sept. 2018 hope this helps in the future i do watch your videos thanks again
I heated my cover in the oven at 375 for 15 minutes, gasket pulled right out in 5 seconds with no issues. Hope this helps someone
MoonShotInvesting Hey, thank you for that tip, that's another great way to take the old gasket off!
Oh...you are a life saver...4 years later. Also, if you slighly pry back those hoses with a small screwdriver you can squirt a small amount of wd40 in the hose fitting. It will then slide right off like nothing.
Please do more video's on eclipse's, like how to tune up. I have 02 gt and would love to have seen more of how you got the top cover off and on. Also the back set if possible thanks bro.
I explained in the video how to remove the front valve cover, there's 2 bolts that hold onto a plastic cover, and then 6 bolts that hold the intake. My eclipse is in storage so when I get it out I'll be sure to bring more videos.
Will you be teaching us how to remove the one under intake manifold?
Could you possibly do a video on lifter replacement ?
Good demostration tenkyou
I have the same problem, with the same mode car just a different year. I have 2004 gts. I also see that there are 3 cylinders on the gasket, are there another 3 in the back? Because it is a v6 and there are 6 spark plugs.
Yes, you have to take off the intake manifold to get to the rear set of cylinders.
The back valve cover is a bitch to get to. Good luck.
I was diagnosed with front and rear valve cover leaking oil, do I have to change just the one you did in this video or are there more?
You would have to replace both valve cover gaskets. In this video I took off the front valve cover.
I'm using fel-pro gaskets. Do I need to use RTV?
Tim Schwartz No, the gasket should stay put as you're putting on the valve cover. If the gasket slips you may need to use some.
have u taken of water pump my eclipse is over heating
I have not, there might be another video posted by someone else that could of had their water pump replaced.
do u remember what gasket brand u used . because I went AutoZone a pic a fel pro gaskets and it's really loose
Fel pro is the same gasket set I used, it should only be loose enough to fit around the edges of the manifold and maybe a little bit of slack. If it stretches too much I would ask for an exchange. If it stretches too much the gasket isn't going to form a perfect seal.
Why would you show the front valve cover and not even mention the rear cover?
AriochRandy This video is only for the front valve cover and not the rear. Sorry for the inconvenience.
