This video shows you how to install new front & rear valve cover gaskets from TRQ on your 2003-2008 Honda Pilot. Valve covers will begin to leak oil when the seals eventually break down. A new valve cover gasket set will make sure the oil stays inside the engine where it belongs!

That moment of silence @ 9:37 when the connecter for the coil falls into the abyss of the backside of the engine bay 😂

All I can say is, OUTSTANDING video brother! Very detailed and every step is illustrated, no skipping or sidestepping. Just, wow! Thank you! Now to order all the parts needed and then, get busy.

Fyi: the 2 wheel drive valve cover gaskets are cheaper as 1 of them is smaller then the other. 4 wheel drive both gaskets are the same size!

The rear isn't as bad as expected just took a little extra work to maneuver it under the wiring harness and over the spark plug tubes.

[@markchambers8641]

You just hopefully saved me an engine replacement. ❤❤

[@ismae55]

Is rtv or some form of sealant not needed?

[@DaddyWorks]

Great video. Am about to start the day.

[@kbowlden94]

The part kit you link in the description says it doesnt fit 2003 Honda Pilot. Seems risky to reuse those plenum gaskets.

[@timmybob2028]

Is sealant not needed when installing the new gasket?

[@blitzcrusher299]

Great video. Thank you.

[@mikeryan3948]

Why when I look up the intake gasket for this engine. The replacement part for it has square openings on it and they show round gaskets with it also. When you take this off you show a upper and lower gasket on the intake. Am I looking up the wrong thing.

[@carlosestrada6348]

15:10 when he’s putting in the new gasket there is clearly an indexing point where the tab should be on the other side of the valve cover.

[@littlepepper4370]

That rear valve cover is going to be a challenge, there’s tiny seepage of oil around the coil pack on one of the rear spark plugs and the connector was so crusted it snapped lol

[@onlyboutthabizness]

Is it just me and this 300k motor but there are many more hoses that seem to be glued on so I don't want to damage them and the maf and others are not the same ...is this a 3.5 04 pilot?

[@kentsang6330]

Isn’t the torque is 8.7 ft pd. Seems like your torquing more then that 😅just wanna make sure , but good video

[@ChargerusPrime]

Im watchin this because i have to replace them on my moms pilot. Then i have to recharge the AC.

[@duanebartlett4885]

Dang my 2006 3.5L doesn't have any rusted parts like that one. That car must have lived near the ocean with all those rusted parts. Jus sayin!

[@slowgoat6089]

Worst design ever 😡
