K24 Swap BRZ Part 17 - K-Tuned Valve Cover and Skunk2 Low-Profile Hardware

[@Conner.sebastyn]

Great video! I used this video for putting on my skunk2 hardware. A few weeks later i used this video in reverse to put the OEM hardware back after I was getting oil leaking out 😂

I believe that the torquing specs for the dome nut is 8.7 foot-pound as the manufacture recommends. I am about to replace one of the bolt stud with an OEM bolt. Shall I torque the stuck bolt with a male end thread to 16 foot-pound just like a female end thread? Please someone reply because I couldn’t find any info about that!

How are these holding up?

Wrinkle red worth at least 5hp

[@BuildingWithSean]

Slap a couple stickers on there and we’re looking at +20hp at least!

Did you have any leaks using this hardware? I’m running the low profile hardware too, and I’m leaking at the exhaust manifold.

[@BuildingWithSean]

To be honest, I’ve only just done the first startup. Haven’t gotten it to the dyno yet. Are you leaking through the valve cover gasket? If so, do you have a good PCV relief or catch can?

[@tgsn_]

​@@BuildingWithSean I just took a closer look today. It was leaking from one of the skunk2 washer, the oring was snapped. Also was leaking valve cover gasket towards the exhaust manifold side. My fault I didn't use any honda bond or rtv. And as for pcv, everything is just vented to atmosphere and running one of those oil vent caps to a catch can.

@@tgsn_Yeah these skunk2 low profiles are known for leaks. Supposedly chances of leaks increase if you run a turbo. I just stuck with OEM

[@Prepelec]

could you fit a supercharger instead of turbo ? im planing also to do k swap but for some reason i like supercharger more than turbocharger...

[@BuildingWithSean]

I’ve seen some guys do supercharger setups, but I can’t really speak to it myself.

[@nasserkhaja4655]

Lol @knub nut. Can you still use the same kit properly with an OEM k series valve cover? Thanks for the vid it’s helpful.

[@BuildingWithSean]

If you’re referring to the Skunk2 hardware, then yes it will work with a stock valve cover
