New Valve Cover from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1AEV...
This video shows you how to install a new valve cover from TRQ on your 2012-2020 Chevrolet Sonic. Under the valve cover, you have camshafts and the valvetrain spinning and flinging oil everywhere. A valve cover has to have a gasket to stop some of that oil from leaking out the seam. When you do see oil around your valve cover, you know it’s time to replace the gasket.
Estimated installation time for a professional technician is approximately: 54 minutes

Thank you guys! This video is perfect! I followed it today when replacing my coil pack, spark plugs and valve cover tube's. Did this work after I developed a nasty misfire (P0302 & P0300) and found oil in my spark plug tubes.

Looked a lil heavy with the thread sealant but good vid aside from that 😊

Pipe thread sealer? I was thinking about blue loctite, but maybe I need to seal AND lock?

So I replaced mine around 60k miles with a blue felpro gasket and did everything correctly. It is now leaking again, even worse than the original 5k miles later. Is it because the pcv in the valve cover has gone bad allowing build-up gases to go past the valve cover gasket seal?
