Im about to do my valve cover gaskets, I burn a quarter every 7500 miles

Did it fixed your problem? My 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe has 121k km on it, and I’ve noticed it’s starting to lose engine oil. I inspected it and found no smoke or leaks, but I can’t seem to figure out the issue. Additionally, my fuel range used to be 500 km on a full tank, but now it’s down to 420 km. I’m also planning to replace the oxygen sensor this week, but the oil loss is really worrying me. I always change my oil on time or even before it’s due-usually when I have 30-35% oil life remaining. Any thoughts on what might be going on?

I’m not a person who does any type of mechanic work, but after seeing you do this one handed, and in a parking garage, I just said F it!! Everything was as easy as you made it look, also instructions were clear and easy to follow 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🙏🏼

What if you got 306. Misfire

How about using a clear plastic deli product container. Clear and simple to see what you're doing.

At least its ants but roaches nop thank god it was ants i see nothing ugly about this car maybe during that time

I saved two Coke cans from the movie (Jak and Zook), and they drained without opening. Unfortunately, my little nephew just got into them and opened them both 😤 I don't know if anything can be done to keep them now.

Will it grow mold? I have a Dragon Ball soda can and I drained it but I want to make sure it doesn't mold

Hi there , did it solve the oil consp so far. What is your feedback

I have a 2000 gmc 2500 6.0, #1 what kind of engine do i have ,sl ?, 2 is this an issue as this vid points out for me.

You said you got the part from RockAuto? Do you have a link for it?

Very helpful, did it by my own and saved me a couple bucks thanks to you! Lifesaver

You never showed the last nut on the rigth side which was the hardest to get to! Why No!

So How Much did oil consumption improve

can you make a tutorial on how to make that cardboard case?

That gasket should be clean and dry do not ever put oil on a new gasket like that unless specified in the instructions

Change only on the driver side or both valve covers?

I don't know how long you owned that vehicle but your valve cover shows lack of service! The rest of your engine will look the same way.

Just did one on a 2010 had old valve cover

I just bought this gun...I think my compressor is underpowered and my curly air line is not helping. It uses ALOT of medium and it doesn't last long. I will say this - when it works, it works well for light dirt and light rust removal and some paints. But, it is always clogging even though I have a filter on it and sift the material. I'm going to play with the setup. If it would just be consistent I would be perfectly OK with it for what I need.

What year did they update the valve cover and did the 6.2 have this issue as well

You mentioned they fixed it after 06. My 07 5.3 NBS Silverado 1500 had the old style valve cover. Just putting it out there so people don't think they're in the clear if their vehicle is 06+! 5:11

I don't recall you stating what the torque on the valve cover bolts were

Looks like you already had the updated valve cover? You have the built in PCV...

I have the 5.3 L but I'm going use the old covers and drill out as suggested by many mechanics and several KZbin videos. About 13 holes in total on the underside baffle and and driil out the PCV hole larger. About 1/4 hole. Also one guy is advising a full court of ATF in engine. My 5.3L suburban started using a lot of oil suddenly when I started driving it more in the winter and idling a lot. I'm using synthetic oil now the last three changes.

You could have cleaned the coils and brackets

Did you buy a GM parts or after market valve cover?

A real shit, it has not force

These large ultimate bags are awesome. I recommend them highly. The only problem is they need to put cloth handles on the side so you can pick them up and move them. They're very awkward to move. I'm talking the real big ones.

Hope your okay. Update on the oil consumption? I have a 2001 GMC Sierra 5.3 with over 377,000 mile, has misfires and losses a lot of oil. Any thoughts

Did a 280K mi. VC gasket job recently. They were the originals lmao. The engine certainly burns a certain amount of oil due to hi mileage, but the main oil loss issue has always been leakage -- not any more. Oil consumption has been very negligible since forever. My guess is your oil consuption through the pcv system is because there is apparently no valve in the positive crankcase vent. Mine has a valve & no problems.

Was it the SKP?

You should have added a few holes lined up acrross where that tiny hole is at the end and also drilled out the hole at the end bigger for better oil dispursement that is best fix for the pcv isdues

Does your compressor also run a paint sprayer? Which paint sprayer do you use?

i first thought you were going to pour it in a cup and drink it with the drilled metal fragments

Wow ! 3 days later still wearing the same clothes ! Nice

Where did you purchase the upgraded valve covers for the 5.3. Thanks in Advance

Whats the part number or descriptions to assure i find new updated vlave vover.?

My 2009 Chevy Silverado 5.3 engine sounds good for 10 minutes after I turn on then I driving down the street then the truck starts smoking from the muffler starts to idle and start to buck when I take off from a complete stop at a stop sign then the traction control light starts with the check engine light to so if I put a new valve cover this will solve my problem.

What’s the torque specs on the valve code and coil pack?

That's not one to buy. this one is a real joke. Homemades work way better that that crap.

Stay in a ne spot bro

I’ve done this upgraded valve cover in my 2006 Silverado with the 5.3 vortec years ago and it changed absolutely nothing. The oil consumption was still as before. What the real culprit is, is that there is but one tiny oil drain hole which if I remember correct is after the Pcv valve which makes absolutely no sense as the oil has already been sucked into the intake by then. You need to drill about four extra small holes on the baffle about an inch apart or so. then clean the crap out of it with brake cleaner and an air compressor. I did this on mine and the oil consumption has been next to zero. Here’s a link to the KZbin video I followed m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZazeIGpdtCWj7M

would this work to get weathered bricks, (limescale staining, Efflorescence etc) cleaned up?

Now you start to consume oil because it doesn't have the drains that the original factory one has, that was my experience, I opened them myself. greetings

Piece of junk.

What type of oil you used to spread on the gasket?

Go further and replace with an earlier replacement. My 02 has an old school removeable PCV.

3 days later bros wearing the same clothes 😭.
