Scotty Kilmer the timing covers leak on them
Scotty Kilmer have you ever had blow by problems leaking back into the air filter? Maybe u can a video on this
No need to put sealant?
But Scotty, the Volvo engine in the thumbnail doesn't have a "valve cover". That oil is most likely due to a bad oil cap seal or clogged pcv system. Try that on a Volvo and you'll start pulling cam covers. I have said Volvo engine that has had said problem, and if I didn't know any better and started pulling the cam covers because of the thumbnail and this video content I'd be sorely mistaken.
Scotty Kilmer hey Scotty! Enjoy your videos very much. I have an 03 Ford ranger that is manual and just recently started having issues where shifting is delaying and kinda hard . No noises or anything it's just getting hard to shift . I just changed the transmission fluid and no shavings but it was black. Unsure how long the previous owner had it in there . Any ideas?!!! Please make a video or message me sir :) thank you
this looks soo easy, but when i came to do it, it was hard because i popped open the hood and realized i had no tools...
Random G acc lmfao😂😂😂
Random G acc uh yeah that makes it a bit harder
Random G acc non;
I know right lol
It's cheaper to buy tools and do it yourself. Next time it will be FREE, next thing you know you got 50 years experience like scotty
You seriously have the best videos, short fast and to the point.
Guitars AndJams this idea reminds me like the fast Facebook cooking videos lol fast to the paint
That’s what she said to me
Exactly
Scotty is a legend 🥺
You're my hero, Scotty!! This EXACT scenario happened. I was changing plugs and wires and found oil in a cylinder. I was sad, not knowing if this was a problem I could fix myself. :(
But, then I checked your channel. You made the gasket change look so easy, I was brave enough to do the work myself on my 99 Celica GT. It was super easy and I know I saved at beaucoup dollars by doing it myself! THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSIGHTS INTO CAR REPAIR! ;*
You GO GURL! :)
Women
George Is Straight Elite lol
So much time and money saved because of you Scotty! The day to day driver I have was a beater when i got it, its broken down a couple times but thanks to you i was able to diagnose the problems and fix them myself. I can fix damn near anything if i know what the issue is and I have the materials and tools required but finding out what the issues were for my car have always been a deterrent to do it myself but not with your Savage and savvy style. Just want to give you a big Thanks for your time and efforts to teach so many people including myself, keep rocking man!
this dude is awesome. growing up he was on ABC 13 news I believe. they had a weekend segment where people called in with car problems
This guy is amazing ! He’s been helping me fix my car all year ! And I’m not even a machine!!! Thanks for your videos
This video definitely help me out. You saved me a lot of money. I thought my car was overheating because steam was coming from the engine bay when it popped the hood. And I smelled through the vents. So I thought my car was burning oil but It's actually leaking oil not burning it It only is burning because the hot oil that's leaking is touching the hot engine parts. I even had a mechanic look at it and he told me it was an oil leak for sure. He was being completely honest he told me that the mechanic shop he's at charge a lot of money so. That doesn't happen too often. So I decided to watch your videos and you make everything seem so easy. I guess that's what many years of experience does. But I'm not complaining. Your videos always helped me out. Save me a lot of money.
As a women who doesn't know alot about cars and doesn't like watch 30 minutes DIY videos I really appreciate these vids! By far the easiest to understand and I love that you cut out the useless parts :)

you have to drop the tank, but a jack under it with the car up on tall jack stands, remove the two bolts that hold the straps and remove the fuel lines and the big feed hose from the gas cap area. Then it slides down. Make sure it has little gas in it or you will get a gasoline bath
Only watched the video for about 5 secs , I paused the video and clicked on subribed.

Good choice Tony

I don't mess with facebook for answering questions, it's waay too time consuming as I answer thousands each week. Ask questions directly to scottykilmer@gmail.com
Just subscribed. This is awesome. No bullshitting around
i would use conventional Castrol oil, good stuff, use it myself
I have a 2016 chevy cruze limited Lt im seeing oil on the top left size of my engine but it only is there when im actually driving im not sure where its coming from any ideas?
Thanks for your great car tips. I just used this one today with my 01 2.2L Sunfire. my car sounds much happier. Thanks Scotty!!!
best educational video i ever seen. he had a great attitude in helping, told what the problem could been and did step by step ways to fix it
Jesus. that guy took a brass wheel to a unprotected head lol
I dont know whats worse the fact that he did that or the fact that you're the only comment i see that points that out LOL
That was scary
i was looking for this comment lol
hes been doing car repair 50 years...how long you been at it? its a few brass wires...
mark rush just because he’s doing it for 50 years it doesn’t mean he’s doing it right

live with it, you have to pull the engine head off to change all those seals, BIG money job there. Oil is cheap
i like how is saids "don't Freak out just fix it your self" like it's a 5 minute job lol
TheOnlyGHOST1015, a lot of people dont know what they're doing. They see the engine covered in oil and freak out.

Try doing this on a Ford sport trac.. everything is on top of the valve cover gasket and the valve cover gasket is literally in the most difficult and awkward place to get to.
@scotty kilmer does bits of the rubber gasket fall into the cylinder when your buffing the spark plug contact patches? ie. 1:40
they will burn out and get out of the exhaust, they are soft and combustible.
He sucked it out . Pause
Replaced gasket, plugs still getting wet. Could it be valve seals
Yeah yeah it looks pretty easy to watch it done by a pro on a fairly easy car.
When I was a kid, I was all into mopeds, small bikes etc. Fixing them, taking them apart.
Then I lost a touch of it.
Love my pathfinder 02 but it needs a lot of small work like changing a knock sensor, valve cover gasket etc. Seems like a pretty easy job. But whenever I pop up my hood I'm like DAMN how I'm gonna do it... tones of tubes, bolts, wires etc... lol
.
The funny part is that I can afford a new car. But I just too damn in love with this one. They don't do cars like this anymore. And the engine with a tranny work like a horse. Nice and strong.
.
Mechanics want like 2-4K for this job. Damn car costs 2-4K now ahaha...
.
Anyway, great vids, fun to watch.
But I'm still too pussy to start fixing my car on my own. It's my only car, If I mess up something, I'll be immovable and HELL NO I'm not using a public transportation in NYC. )))
i wanna take my car to this dude he works fast and persistent
Or U Can Do It Yourself
That's smart, Scotty. I'm a plumber, we smoke test buildings all the time to find a leak in the drainage system but I'm not sure I would have ever thought of that. Thanks for sharing.

wait, if I initially remove spark plug only to discover oil in the spark plug well, doesn't that mean all that oil already in there dripped down into engine, and would cause hydro-lock if I start the engine?
that tiny amount of oil will not hydrolock a motor, but if you're worried, crank the engine over a couple times with plug out and it will shoot out
Awesome, thanks for your help Scotty!
yes. I had this problem on my 2.2 camry. took out #4 spark plug and discovered oil. was literally only enough oil to coat the threads of the spark plug. changed the gaskets and plugs and it instantly brought vigor back to my car. most likely won't be enough oil to do any further damage, but each repair is individual, so.....
He ment to say when he removed the spark plug coil
you are grinding all the shit in the engine with that buffer..
Haha same thing I said, it adds more horsepowa to da tiyas!
It's alright, those particules will be absorbed by the oil filther and dumped.
Is alright I put some to my engine at least weekly to get some nice horse powers
I'd just change the oil afterwards, it looked pretty dirty anyway.
Its not his car so he doesn't give a fuck
I may not always agree with your methods but you make mighty consistent content. Subscribed.
Your Good Samaritan attitude is your passion. Keep up the good works.
He said get a 10mm socket
I CANT FUCKIN FIND IT!
You're not worried about metal or other particles getting into the engine when you buffer it like that? Couldn't those flakes cause damage over time? I'm gonna do this job within the next couple of months and I know the gasket is just gonna be caked on since it has 308,000 km on it and it looked so easy that way and I'd love to do it like that if it's safe for my engine.
I hear you and would take that little step too, you could keep the old spark plugs in the holes for that and pick debris up before replacing the plugs.
He kept the plugs in the holes, and left the oil in the hole, and after buffing, pumped oil out and then took plugs out. So that should be ok. But yeah, sticking a rag in would have made the process even better i think.
Plugs in the holes!!! You not worries about the rest of the engine. Never buff debris into an open engine like that. Only hand scrape with a razor blade
I love Scotty Kilmer. His narrations keep you watching, haha. I wish my transmission removal videos were as to the point as your videos!
if you don't lose any coolant now, should be fine. If you like my car help, be sure to watch my live car talk show every saturday morning at 10 AM CST on google events.

Not looking forward to replacing valve cover gaskets on my Subaru , lol

Eli Levine I was worry with my rsx and civic leaving oil marks on the valvue cover
I put cheese in the edge to help seal the valve cover gasket,
Lol
"...It just fits right on"
*Just slaps it in there* 😆😂🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾♂️
Gotta Love Scotty! He's HILARIOUS!
God bless you bro for helping people , most mechanics are so greedy, you are awesome.
Rev your engines!! (sound of rubber burning)
This guy looks like John Lennon.
Scott P. Delo was actually thinking to myself he looked like julian lennon 😂
Steve Jobs looked like John Lennon
I never realized that till you said it
You sure he just doesn’t look like a cousin of Nicholas Cage from Ghost Rider? Lol
Keep the hard work ahead scotty.
You're doing great job.
Scotty's number one tool "giant screwdriver". Your videos are the best!
Love how you're always adding a new clip at the beginning or the end!
Did this (before seeing the video) and it fixed my slightly leaky valve cover. Great Video.

If oil is only on the firing end, the engine is then leaking oil internally, such as bad piston rings or valve seals. If the whole plug is wet, either a tube is cracked or the seals aren't sealing correctly from incorrect manufacture or installation.
Hey Scotty I live in Auckland New Zealand and yiour videos gave me the confidence to do heaps on my car. Thanks your awesome.
I think that is where we grew up! :-) one of the best so far. The grunt removing the hose was funny. Thanks.
you sir, are a rare breed among mechanics!!!! I love your videos, they are easy to understand and very helpful!!!!
Thanks Scotty, I stumbled on this video and it really answered some questions...Cheers!
This has been very helpful 10/10 love Scotty Kilmers energy he makes learning fun
I didnt know about the new plugs with coating. Thanks for the info. You the man!!!!!!
you can blast out the area when done with compressed air, most stuff will come out. I was using a metal brush in the video
i love Scotty he always making fun on his video, live long life 1000 years Scotty i hope we can see you there
do a compression test of each cylinder by removing the spark plugs and testing the pressure inside. Worn rings would show low pressure
you can see if they are plated just looking at them. Most new spark plugs are all that way, but if you are confused, ask where you buy them.
Awesome video. I actually just replaced my valve cover gaskets two days ago since they were leaking pretty bad. Also ended up fixing a idling and stalling problem by accident since you have to remove the intake plenum to reach the rear valve cover I figured I would clean the throttle body and found out that the cause of my idling problems was the automatic idle speed motor (or something like that). Pretty excited
We're learning a lot from you ! Thanks a lot Scotty.
One, probably drive slower. but make sure the air filter is clean, and have the MAF sensor cleaned out, that often makes em use a lot more gas
I love your videos Scotty. You are a hoot! Guaranteed laughs and knowledge every time!
check the engagement motor on the differential, they often go bad.
thanks for the video. I like the straight forward, common sense explanations. even a car dummy like myself can follow along. haha.
thanks Scotty, I have a bad leak on my 04 CLK55 AMG Benz, so I'm going to start with my valve cover gasket and change the plugs while I'm at it. I'm green with this but learning and to save $800 for the gasket change and $500 for the spark plugs is a big motivator. I changed the serpentine belt last week. Thanks again
Rocc J if its a mercedes dont bother trying to fix that money bucket xD
Hey Scotty, love your videos. They've helped me a ton!
i have seen that but i want from scotty the way he explains is just too good
Scotty, you're the best. You have saved me tons of money
You're great! Thank you for making things simple. 😃
thank you very much, your channel help us alot. Wish all the best for you
you are the best!
thanks for all your easy to understand videos!
My favorite You Tube channel. Thank you Scotty.
depends what's leaking, it can be oil leaking on the exhaust and smoking white, or coolant hissing and leaking somewhere. Figure out which one it is first.
I’ve noticed some oil loss . What it looks like it’s coming from exhaust plastic manifold . Not the top I’ve looked . Is that not too bad or major cost to fix ? Will it get worse and I should fix it ? 11 Camry LE 2.5 L
Happy Holidays Scotty!
O my God look like you are the best teacher.I am a woman living by myself in an apartment. But i love to watch your channel.
Thank you so much man. You are the absolute BESTEST EVER GUY!
It's always fun to hear this guy!
I learned something new about spark plugs. I was worried that the Bandit 600S I sold should have had anti-seize on the Iridium spark plugs I put in it, since they are made to last as long as possible. Now I know it's nothing to worry about.
Love you Scotty, I am a single mom. Your channel helps me keep the mechanic honest.

umm yeah that was my mom on my account scotty,and im not a single mom lol,but your videos are helpfuly on the account that my dad didn't live long enough to teach me
yeah scotty lets see ya work on some firebird and trans am;s !!! love the videos keep em coming,, Just changed my firebird fuel pump, with your video thanks a Million !!
gasket scraper actually can cause more damage to the soft aluminum on the head. Rubber pieces flying off the fine wire wheel do no harm, they will just burn off or get squashed.
Truly excellent video Scotty. Congratulations on a job well done.
thanks for replying to my questions as fast as you do Scotty
I love your channel!! Thank you
love your videos. always straight to point
Scotty , Good Day .. I have question
Recently i have changed the clustch in Susuki Ritz ...after some day .. I feel little vibration when car in idel and RPM raising like anything ...
What would be the reason
thanks
Hey Scotty,
Nice Video. I would also recommend that the viewers be careful when using that wire wheel under the valve cover, and the camshaft. You need to make sure none of that stuff you shave off with the wire wheel gets into the moving parts of the engine. That debris can cause damage the internal moving parts like the cam shaft and valves. Oil change is in order as well.
Keep up the good work.. your the best on youtube
Nice video
Fast and explanatory
You got your self a new subscriber
I love Scotty's videos.
nice one Scotty, very helpful mate
My 2001 sienna ac keeping coming in and off replacements to all parts have been done including hoses?
Thank you again for another helping video!
Great video... straight to the point... Thanks Scotty.
Hey scotty so my car has the same problem as the car in this video, thanks for the tips on how to fix it, but my check engine light keeps coming on for miss fires in cylinders 2&4. Its a 2004 Kia optima LX, any ideas?
thanks for your videos, it helps alot..
