Just wondering if anyone changed out their valvecover gaskets for their Ej20.

Mine's been leaking for a while, and I never really got around to changing it because of pure laziness. Now I know where that oil smell was coming from. I always smelled some oil aroma, and I thought it was from my exhaust but ehh the valvecovers will do it.

Does anyone have any pointers on the procedure? I'll eventually get around to changing them out but I have to find time. Also, are there tube seals (o-rings) around the spark plug holes in addition to the valvecover gasket itself?

I noticed the spark plugs go through the valvecover / rocker cover which usually means o-rings around that area.

I did valvecover gaskets for an old 94' SOHC EJ18, which was cake, but ehh a DOHC EJ would probably be a little more annoying.

But anyway. Any help would be greatly appreciated. w00t.


Thanks.
Daniel
