Pacifica valve cover gasket
:confused:This is an issue on my 4.0L engine.. I have 241,000KM on it and it started misfiring badly a couple weeks ago.. As it turns out, my spark plugs were fine. The tubes that contain the spark plugs, as well as the valve cover gasket are worn and allowing oil to leak into the spark plug chambers. The oil is fouling my coils. Mechanic quoted $800 to repair and I don't want to spend that kind of money. Is there a cheaper way to reseal these tubes? I can replace the gasket myself, and pressing new tubes into the cylinder head is out of the question. This is an annoying issue that I have never heard of happening on a Pacifica... Anyways, can anybody give me advice as to how to repair this? Will a new valve cover gasket fix the leak from getting to the tubes in the first place?
PLEASE LET ME KNOW!:D |
a new valve cover gasket set comes with the seals for the spark plugs tubes

Great! So the tubes don't have to come out? My mechanic may be giving me the runaround.. My other issue is that my AWD hanger bearing is apparently gone and may ruin other AWD components. Can the AWD shaft be removed?

Cheers! |

PLEASE LET ME KNOW!:D Oh and that gasket remover **** will not do you any good. The gaskets have a metal ring in them. |
Just an update... AWD shaft is removed. I want to take the PTU and rear carrier out. They are worth big bucks on these cars. Valve cover and timing belt are being done this week (it's misfiring again) as well as the stabilizer links and bushings. It never ends on this car.
