Thank you very much for this very helpful video, I'm a real novice to this stuff, but really want to learn about my coupe and tend to her needs myself 🙂
DO NOT pry the round seals out as shown!! The way shown here is a great way to break your valve cover. Turn it right side up and gently knock them out with a screwdriver/hammer from above. I ended up paying for a used replacement valve cover about 4 years ago because the mechanic thought that prying them like this was the best way. They are expensive. Use your head.
I remember long time ago when I had a Toyota Corolla 2000, by 2007 or 8 got oil leak and Toyota Dealer charge me for this $ 945. $ 945 for this ? That's an ABUSE, That's why we need to learn so they don't rip off or Steal our Money.I bough cover Gasket and Spark plug gasket in a Kit at Amazon for $ 20, WOW, $ 20 Dollars and I can do it next time in my Elantra 2008. Yes.Thank you for the Video. So far my car has 90500 miles and Every thing is Perfect.
This was one of the best video's for replacing the valve cover gasket. You showed me bolts I would have missed. Thanks you! It only took me about 20 mins. to change it. My kit did come with the half moon gaskets. I used a screwdriver and hammer to tap one side and it slide right out no problem. Just make sure you clean of old gasket.
What "KIT" did you purchase? When you were explaining the spark plug gaskets you mentioned the kit. I need to do this job as well. Dealership quoted me some $1800.
Did you use silicone anywhere?
Hey I got a 2.7 liter. 2001. Motor look different

You can go wrong with a 10 dollar torque wrench.Specially at the higher torque settings
Me too am going ti do it by my self, but i have a question, is it not important to use silicon rubber gasket?
good video…! well done

Thank you for this wonderful video! Curious, why didn't you use anaerobic seal?
Does a 2003 Santa Fe have a heater control valve and where is it Thanks
Will be nice to hear the car running, next time don't forget to show us how it worked .BTW, How many miles has it when you did the job ?
Can I clean all that with brake cleaner ?

Hi, do you use sealant or just a dry gasket

Hi one question…Why you dont use silicone for the valve cover gaskets?
I replaced them about a year ago and I tightened all the bolts as much as I can. Now it still leaked. What have I done wrong? 🙁
What "KIT" did you purchase? When you were explaining the spark plug gaskets you mentioned the kit. I need to do this job as well. Dealership quoted me some $1800.
Just a question: Did you change out the half-moon seals (there are three of them)?
They seemed to be stuck on very hard, and being a Sunday I needed to finish so didn't bother figuring out how to remove them.
Thanks heaps for the video, just finishing the job now thanks to you!
