Valve Cover RH

Valve Cover RH

Removal and Installation
1. Drain the engine cooling system.
2. Disconnect the fuel hose spring lock coupling.





3. Disconnect the coolant hose and the Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) tube, and position aside.





4. Disconnect the engine wiring harness retainer.
5. Remove the RH ignition coils.





6. Remove the RH valve cover.

CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.

Remove and discard the gasket, clean and inspect the sealing surfaces.





7. Inspect the valve cover spark plug hole gaskets. Install new gaskets, if necessary. Make sure the gaskets are correctly seated on the valve cover.





8. NOTE: If the valve cover is not secured within four minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or four minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can result in future oil leakage.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.
^ Apply silicone gasket and sealant as shown.





9. Tighten the valve cover listeners in the sequence shown.
