You rock buddy 👍

[@rx7autoxer]

Excellent video. Thank you for being so thorough and explaining everything so clearly. Made my job super quick and easy!

[@ItsLenny718]

hey can you do a video doing a head gasket on this same car?

[@bandofworship]

thank you so much for the video, repaired my wife car with no issues.

[@mayor399999999999999]

Nice video. Looking at doing this to the wife's 2006 TSX. Changed the plugs the other week and there was oil in one of the plug holes.

[@rarriagaj]

Excellent recap. My only question is what are the torque specs instead of tightening it to feel?

[@jamieroseman4429]

Excellent video. Is there any concern about air getting into the power steering system by disconnecting that line?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

You can pretty much bleed the air out of juice by idling, but if you have to, you can turn the wheel lock to lock with the engine off a few times then start it up and you should be good

[@darwindropmazda]

Very good tutorial 👍

Outstanding job Brian

🔥🔥🔥 thank you so much for a very detailed video

[@apeezuscamacho7291]

Dude got straight to it thank you amazing tutorial

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Thank you for watching!

[@jamieroseman4429]

I'm using this same fel pro kit and I'm following your video to a T. But I can't figure out if the valve tube seals are supposed to be pushed in all the way to the bottom lip? When i looked at my old ones the seals were flush with the edge of the hole. Is that due to swelling over time with the seals?

[@Cyrahhhh]

Hi Brian, 1 of my bolts snapped in the nut, could i replace bolt with the cover on. When i remove washer the stud is still sticking out please lmk thanks

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Cyrah G it’s hard to say without seeing it. You will most likely need to pull cover back off and remove the broken bolt and order a new one.

[@walimac6489]

Would this fix a p2279 code for intake leak?

[@thecloud1432]

You forgot to mention that you need silicon where the head rail meets the timing cover.

[@joelcandelario316]

I did this on my tsx and forgot to apply silicone to the corners. Now it's leaking. Do I have to take off the gasket and apply or is there a way to seal it without taking it off?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

It needs to come back apart

[@Lee_Lee1776]

Can you give me an idea of what a fair price is to get this job done?

[@ianyoung6829]

Hi Brian what scan tool would you recommend for newer BMW 2010 PLUS ( I am working on mostly x5 and x6)

[@DIYD]

can you put the gasket/silicone around the entire valve cover?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Donnell Wright You don’t wanna do that. It causes more problems than it’s worth. Just in a sharp corners is where you’ll put the silicone

[@DIYD]

@@HowtoAutomotive Roger that

[@joelthomas3823]

Great video thank you for posting

[@jadawngriffis3745]

What if i dont have air to clean the tube seals

[@heavy_hittahz]

I accidentally pierced thru a new ring not too big but you think it’d be ok?

[@carlograjalez8421]

Great job

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Carlo Grajalez thank you!

[@HealthyCriticism]

is it the same procedure for 2nd gen minus the power steering part?

[@greenshards7422]

So I apply silicon on the corners only?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Yes

[@ExceptionalQuality]

What did you use to clean the top of the valve cover?

[@JoseRamirez-ie2bk]

Thanks

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Jose Ramirez thank you for watching!

[@RobertFixit]

Looked good until I saw FELPRO. Come on bro! You have a TSX, the nice tools, and you cheap out on the gasket?

[@donspaulding3343]

Is OEM considerably better? It's only $10 more than the felpro kit!

[@sirsmack]

@@donspaulding3343 OEM = Worth it

[@tonyortiz3350]

There only 6 cover bolts not 7. I’m a beginner on this engine but I know that much lol

[@snooka88]

You don’t explain or show what way the seals should be facing

[@sm1353]

the same way as the one you taking out. it really only fits one way.
