Great Video!! For the tube of seal; are those the only two places you apply it on??

yes it’s from the old valve cover gasket

Why spark plugs are soaked in motor oil? Due to the Perished plug seal you replaced?

Thank you and please subscribe. yes brake cleaner. my foreman at the dealer uses it to clean too. it’s ok to use it. no harm done. took couple tries to start the engine and a lot of smoke since it was flooded with brake cleaner.  have a nice day

Great video!
What are you using in this red can to clean the grooves in the covers, spark plugs and coils? Brake cleaner?
Is this safe for the seals and coils o-rings?

It looks like you sprayed a lot in the spark plugs holes
How did it felt when you started the engine? 🙂

yes you need to use a sealant. if not, oil will seep through. thanks for the comment and please subscribe

i used brake cleaner. not a lot went into the cylinders. started the car and just a lil’ smoke from oil that washed down into the cylinders. left car on idle for couple minutes and revved the engine couple times. all was good. thanks for the comment and please subscribe

You’re gonna spray water/degreaser in the cylinders and keep it there?
