Hi, need some advice. Recently my kenari engine oil leaking into the spark plug chamber.
went to shop, mech tell me to change rocker cover/valve cover terus. i've read and also heard before that there's another more cost efficient way which is just to replace the plug seals. is it recommended to just change the plug seals instead of the whole cover? what are your thoughts? thanks in advance |

QUOTE(radi0head @ Jan 10 2016, 01:13 PM) Changing the rocker cover is better as you'll have a cleaner overall engine compartment... I'm sure the leaks now and surrounding area of your rocker cover is dirty with oil on it... thank you very much for the advice bro. surrounding area very little, only that oil is leaking into the spark plug chamber, unintentionally flooding it slightly. even ran on 2 cylinders for awhile.  QUOTE(jaesern @ Jan 10 2016, 02:01 PM) the safest and only choice is to replace the whole valve cover as the spark plug seal is 'embedded' in valve cover. i tried to open up to replace the spark plug seal, don't think anyone can get it reassemble back like how it suppose to be. thank you for the advice as well bro.conclusion, call it you're 'lucky' to owned Kenari because of need to replace valve cover and valve cover seal instead of spark plug seal and valve cover seal. So if thats the case, roughly how much does that valve cover cost? mech quote me about 500 siap pasang. which i know is exorbitantly expensive. i checked online, its between 160-180 for the valve cover. i havent check at normal spare part shop yet. its that the market price roughly? i dont mind diy myself to remove the plug seal, but afraid that it is impossible to do; thats why come forum and ask for advise. the normal valve cover gasket is roughly 20-30rm iinm. appreciate the help, thanks in advance yet again.  |
