7/16 socket. Use the FelPro blue gasket. easy.

 

Ok. So the rms is the hardest one ? Which I already have done

 

X2... The cork one sucks and bends wherever it was when it was in the box... Pita...

 

Hardest part of doing the valve cover gasket will be dettaching the CCV hoses or elbows (whichever you prefer). So here:

I'd suggest putting on new CCV grommets while you have the valve cover off.

And yes, get a Felpro gasket or you'll be doing this job again in a year

And yes, the rear main is probably the most difficult oil leak to fix. So if you can do that, the valve cover will be a walk in the park.

 

Yep. and the sad part is that it may not have been the real leak.

 

or he didnt use the "straw" to install the new RMS... which just cuts it and it leaks again...

 

X2.
Stay away from the cheaper cork gasket. It sucks.

Actual name is FelPro Perma Dry. It's also reusable and do not use any rtv.

 

I tryed bars leak rear main sealer in my old jeep and it took quite awhile longer for the oil to burn off and become low i dident have to add any oil for a month and a half.

i figured the jeep was old anyways so id try it dont notice any serious harm.

Might start harder in the winter if u used it.

Im not saying its a cure all but i only spent maybe 10 bucks at most and ive already saved on oil

 

This is how I ended up doing mine two or three times in a row.

 

Everyone does... Lol... It comea in the pack for a reason lol... My motor was on a stand when I did my first one... Watched it peel back clear as day... Then it clicked in my head and I punched it back out... Lol... Wasted $15 easily...

 

What's the "straw" ?

 

the little plastic thing that comes in the pack with the seal... or you can use a burger king straw... stick it in the side that your pushing... when it all gets tight the last little bit the block side will peel it back like a orange...

 

You lube it up and put it in the straw so the sharp edge of the block won't peel away the sealing edge or lip of the rms? Mine didn't come with a 'straw'....am I thinking right? Doing mine tomorrow morning.

 

negative... there is a youtube video showing you if thatll help... its like a 1in long piece of straw split down the middle on one side... that goes on the block side as you push the seal around the crank... the video helped me a lot...

 

Cool ill find it.
