How to replace a valve cover gasket on a V6 engine. 2005 Mitsubishi Galant

[@leelachance1255]

I have this engine and it has been leaking out of the rear valve cover and just seemed daunting removing the intake manifold. It has been so hard finding how to's for my engine so this was perfect. Thank you!

Quick question I was looking on how to do this job on my mitsubishi 380 I guess its the Australian version of this car I think engine looks the same just wondering if you know of any difference

[@a2zautomasters862]

Hey Ashtin! I’m not actually aware of any differences. I believe it probably called Mitsubishi 380 for the 3.8L engine but both cars should be the same.

hello , what is the torque settings for the valve cover bolts , thanks

[@aussiedigger1441]

Manual states 3.5nm, not tight at all. Most people over tighten.

[@thagodfilms1582]

Where did you order the gaskets from?

[@a2zautomasters862]

A local part store. It’s available after market you don’t need dealer parts on that.

@@a2zautomasters862 can you give a PART NUMBER your answer to the previous question was super irrelevant. every gasket set i look for doesn't include tube seals

[@Scotty23]

How long should I wait before starting the car, letting it idle, and drive, after replacing the valve cover gaskets ? Immediately? A hour ? A couple hours ? A day ?

[@a2zautomasters862]

By the time you put everything back together it should be good start.

[@petermclennan2416]

Did you use any type of sealant as well?

[@a2zautomasters862]

weatherstripping yellow glue to glue the gasket to the cover and RTV silicone on all corners. Never use any stop leak chemicals of any sort for any type of leaks.

[@fastbullit17]

Don't u disconnect the battery 1st and the coils don't they they need no lubricant or just the spark plugs

[@a2zautomasters862]

You don’t have to disconnect the battery, you could if you want. Coils don’t need lubricant but you can use some electrical grease if you want.
