    420A Valve cover gasket leak

    The 2gnt link is the best method. Permatex Ultra Grey works well. I have used both oem gasket kits and felpro on my car. I like the oem the best, but the felpro kit is pretty good as well. I would highly recommend replacing the rubber grommets that the bolts go thru as well.

    When replacing the valve cover gaskets on these engines I also like to replace the valve cover grommets too. Over time they become dry cracked and brittle. I brand new set ensures that you will get proper torque when tightening the bolts. As far as using sealant I have had good luck with...

    420A Misfire

    What NGK plugs did you put in? I found that the standard/copper work best, gaped to factory spec. When checking your battery voltage with the car running, check not only from the posts of the battery, but also check at the clamps themselves. Judging by your readings so far it seems as though...

    rear wiper arm

    Yes, you can swap the rubber seal from your old hatch to your new hatch. I would recommend putting some rtv sealant on the seal so that you don't have a leak.The picture you posted looks very odd. That piece sticking through does not look like it should be there. I just had my wiper...

    The correct way to remove the 2g front bumper

    After removing my bumper the correct way two times I decided to leave off the two little metal brackets that hold the cover to the support. I makes it much easier to remove the bumper in the future without them, because you no longer have to remove the support along with the cover. The cover...

    Cabin fogs up like crazy

    I just had this same issue and it was caused by the rear wiper seal leaking. It took me a while to find it, but the water was pooling up in the plastic on the underside of the hatch. So, as the others have said you need to search around and find where the moisture is getting in.

    Valve Cover Pouring Oil

    As shown above there is a separate washer that goes between the bolt and the rubber grommet and you absolutely need to have these or the gasket will leak every time. Without the washers the bolts will bottom out before the valve cover is properly torqued down. Made this mistake once before and...

    removing muffler silencer

    It is a M8-1.25 x 40mm hex head flange bolt.These worked on every mount except the last rubber mount that connects to the back of the muffler. On my car that rubber mount was thicker than the rest and required a longer bolt than the others.

    What is this car worth / Is this car a good deal?

    The price is not bad at all, I would say its fair. These cars sell for higher prices in the northeast for some reason. The majority of the ones up for sale are shit boxes. Make sure to look over the car really good. Check the strut towers for rust, look down the back side of the engine and...
