ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    it's always best to change all seals top and bottom i had to do the same its a pain to have to go back and take it apart again

      I changed the top only at first, hoping it would fix the leak, it didn't so then I had to pull the rocker assembly (much more work) and redo the whole job. SMDH

      I kicked myself in the ass later for being lazy.

      Here is a decent how-to, even though I'm not a fan of Eric the car guy:

        Thanks everyone, your insight was perfect. I ordered some NGK plugs. I do have that oil in the plugs leak going on. That is why the gaskets were ordered. I'm doing top and bottom. Just figured while I have the area apart, I minus well replace the plugs, wires, valve cover...

            Yes I have been going ballistic with the red paint the last few days. When the new valve cover is on, I'm gonna blast and repaint the old one. Probably sell it on craigslist or something. Hate to see it go to waste.

              IMO The NGK V power , NGK Platinum , Or the New E3's have gotten good results in short NGK or Denso .

                Silly question, but why not cleanup and paint a jy cover or the one that is on the car? Is the car your DD? Could you just not have the car down and out for a bit?

                    I have always used NGK iridium plugs on every car I have ever had. Changes between them take forever so im happy with the outcome.

                      I have studied this a few times. Guys, listen to Deev and Bisi. They know what they are saying here. Oh, also the Honda engineers went with NGK so that says a lot. Personally myself i like the regular NGK s. Unless you have a seriously modded engine, and if your car is a dd, the fraction of increase in mpg doesnt pay out in the long run, because some of the fancy plugs do not last as long. Been there done that. The 1.99 NGK s is the way to go.
