Valve Cover Gaskets

Performed: December 16, 2021

That green oil had me nervous until I remembered I put dye in the crankcase to help find the leak.

Was hoping that my oil leak was due to the cam plugs and half-moons not being replaced when someone else did this job in April of 2021.

Tried to get a head start by removing as much as I could the night before:

Miscellaneous shots during.

  • Dirty throttle body
  • Should I see light?
  • Cleaned with new gasket
  • Old spark plug seals
  • Old gasket
  • Old gasket
  • Old cam plug
  • Old half-moon
  • Driver’s side old gasket
  • Cleaning

Back together, running, zero faults
