@@Project380 My wife and I finished the valve cover gasket and no leaks on the first try! However, we did discover a coolant leak coming from the heater hoses. Small drips once ever 5 minutes. It's on going maintenance care.

Great vid. What sealant was that? Only got bathroom!

[@Project380]

i probably wouldn't use bathroom sealant 😂😂, its RTV sealant

[@Nickomfacc]

Great video, fantastically useful. Can I ask where you were able to get hold of the copper washers for the VVT banjo bolt from?

[@Project380]

thank you, luckily i work in a garage so i had them on the shelf. mx5 parts is your best friend

[@popeyesbicuitt4031]

Am I needing to disconnect the battery for this? If so did you reset the immobilizer?

[@Project380]

you don't need to disconnect the battery so you should be good

[@corbinscott5808]

Wondering if you might know what the housing for the oil control solenoid is called? The extra bit mount to the top/front of the whole valve cover. While replacing my solenoid, the bolt holding it in snapped so I'm looking for a replacement.

[@Project380]

i think its VVT filter housing..... i could be wrong

[@andy2906]

What happens if you tighten it too much like 20nm on the cam cover bolts

[@Project380]

you either strip the threads, stretch the bolts or deform the gasket

[@vtectomaso]

What size are copper crush washers please?

[@Project380]

i cant remember but i think the link is in the description

[@vtectomaso]
