Acura TSX Spark Plug Tube Seals & Valve Cover Gasket replacement DIY

[@Mao2187]

Place gasket sealer here, here, and here (didn’t show where)

[@AcuraAddicted]

Obviously, that’s an immediate dislike, right? Thanks!

[@josephjoestar5444]

Exactly only reason I’m looking for videos on this

[@AlexKillinEm]

Thank you for the video, well done. Just replaced my 09 gasket for $40 rather than $200 with the mechanic lol…although those spark plug seals were definitely a pain to take off

My wife just purchased a 2006 TSX. I noticed some seepage coming from the valve cover gasket. Thanks for the video. Weekend project now.

[@AcuraAddicted]

You’re welcome! Let me know how it goes after. Thanks!

Очень кропотливая работа. Но, судя по этому видео, ничего невозможного нет!

[@AcuraAddicted]

Это да. Все сопутствующие комментарии пришлось отредактировать :)))

Качественные у Вас масла. Делал такую же процедуру недавно у себя на МДХ.

Well done

LOL, that’s a record! 4 seconds!

Thanks for the video! What made you change it? How do you know when to change it?

[@AcuraAddicted]

Thanks for your feedback! This was preventative maintenance roughly at 60K miles/100K kms. Given the cost of the gasket kit and only an hour labour, totally worth it! Otherwise you would do it if you start seeing oil leaks or seepage from under the cover or through the tubes.

@@AcuraAddicted Great! Thanks! Keep making these awesome videos! I watch every single one you've made and they have been greatly helpful with my maintenance!

@@philliple10 Thanks a lot for your feedback, I'm glad these are helpful!

@@AcuraAddicted Good idea. I never changed my valve cover gasket and oil seals in my 2004 TSX. The oil got to my #4 spark plug and fouled the plug and coil.

[@DrOck-ne1sb]

So after replacing spark plugs and ignition coils, I was still getting misfires... cylinder 2 seemed to have sum oil in it and a burnt spark plug. Am I right to believe the gasket n grommets are worn and need to be replaced?

[@AcuraAddicted]

Yes

[@freeman573]

Are the spark plug seals replaceable on a 2018 Acura TLX 2.4 engine?

[@AcuraAddicted]

They should be

[@cartere9981]

Could take the intake tube off to make way more working room on the right side

[@AcuraAddicted]

Didn't feel the need to bother, but good point!

[@cartere9981]

@@AcuraAddicted I’m more saying for people who are scared to do it

[@crazzyickman159]

What do u do if you so happen to break one of the valve cover head screws in the process how would you get the screw out with the screw head broken off?

[@AcuraAddicted]

You will need a special extractor tool. It's inexpensive, you just have to get the proper size for your bolt.

[@lorenberzsenyi8717]

Those bolts on the k24a2 can be removed with a 12mm open end wrench the nut is clearly visible when vc is off. Amazing he didn't snap it off using that extension!

[@ase06090]

Is this job done the same way for 04-08 tsx?

[@AcuraAddicted]

I don't know for sure, but likely yes.

Do i really need sealer ? Acura said it doesnt

Yes
