2.2 liter
380 000 km.... I am not complaining.. I love this car. It's like Herbie or
something..
Anyway, it looks like a couple of the spark plug tube seals are leaking.. Is
this an easy job? (valve pan gasket,etc,) or is there some bizzaro thing I
need to know before I get started.. Herbie has a way of throwing curve balls
whenever I attempt to fix him... Like the time back in '99 I thought the
brake rotor replacment job would take 30 minutes...
Comments welcome.

simple gasket replacement. easy.
and don't strip the whole freakin' head down like elle did on her
d-series motor. it's only the gaskets that get disturbed when you do
the valve lash that need to be replaced. |

It's a very simple fix. Remove valve cover, replace the 4 rubber dunuts, and you're good. I'd replace valve cover gasket, and the 5 rubber/steel grommets while you're at it, just to be sure you don't now have a leak around the outside of valve cover. >> Stay informed about: 1996 accord LX - oil loss |
