Thank you!! Owe you a cold beer!!!

Did you have to replace the intake gasket or is it one of the reusable ones ?

[@jann7262]

Yes I did change the intake gasket. After 100k miles, rubber starts to become dry and brittle. Good thing you mentioned that because my brother told me to start doing video instructions step by step

why u change PCV valve ? what symphtoms ?

[@jann7262]

Pcv valve is something many people ignore as part of preventive maintenance. It sometimes get clogged without knowing. I didn’t get any symptoms from the car, but can be a problem later. Google it and you’ll understand how it works

[@mitchhornback1013]

These motors are known for the pcv sticking open and sucking oil into the intake. . I've dont about 10 with heavy blue/grey smoke. it's been the pcv 10 out of 10 times.

thanks so much for the video~ i was thinking of doing a valve gasket replacement myself and was wondering how much would go into it

[@jann7262]

Hi, thank you for the comments. As far as the valve cover gasket, everything should be wide open for you to get to. There should be only a couple of bolts that hold valve cover and you should be able to take it out.

@@jann7262 hey there, just following up - wondering what size sockets (to remove the bolts) are needed for the whole job?

[@jann7262]

@@istoleyourpc6721I don’t remember all the socket size for this for this job, but I do remember 10mm socket was used for most of it and the 14mm magnetic spark plug socket. If you have the most basic metric socket kit , you should be able to do the job. Also I do use the 10mm socket that has a magnet built-in to remove two bolts that holds the metal vacuum rail I mentioned.

[@lindatrevino7806]

Never saw the spark plugs and never saw you take off the parts that were in the way. Confusing

[@jann7262]

Hi Linda, I didn’t show the removal of spark plugs and coils because there are plenty of videos out there for that. I’m only showing my version of getting to that point. Sorry I didn’t want to make the video too long

[@harbysdiymore4230]

Too many stuff that doesn’t need to be removed

[@jann7262]

Hi thank you for the feedback. Please explain which stuff I didn’t have to remove so I would take note in the future. Sorry this is my side gig on the weekend so I was working on a fly

Best way to get much extra hand space in back of manifold is (1) remove windshield wipers (2) remove the plastic cover next to windshield (3) remove the metal cover. Now you will have enough room in the back to remove the 2 screws that hold the manifold in place on the back bracket even enough room to stick part of your head snd look inside the spark plug cylinders. It takes about 7 minutes to remove wiper blades, plastic cover and metal cover.

[@jann7262]

That could be one way you can probably change all the spark plugs back there without removing the intake manifold.
