Look what I found out in my garage this morning!

I reluctantly delayed my drive into work to install the new seals. Valve cover off:

The old seals (which I KNEW were trouble) had fallen entirely out of their sockets in the cover, and were resting on the cam rocker arms.

Cheap garbage

I didn’t know which direction the new seals went, so I looked it up. Here it is:

I replaced the spark plug seals, the valve cover bolt seals, and the valve cover gasket. Which is to say I used the whole felpro kit.

Back together!

As an aside, I’m a little sad (happy?) to notice that the civic is making more power now. I think it’s been dealing with this oil-ignition-coil issue for a while at least
