I am a very mechanically inclined female, but hear horror stories on tune-up on this yr,make n model. So helpful hints and tips to do this job would be awesome..I hear because of close and tight spaces..where plenum and valve cover gaskets go hard to get seated properly..So if I could get advice on this type of tune up spark plugs and wires...distributor cap..n rotor..etc..thanks a head of time for all your input..will be looking for how to videos...chat with you soon.

 

Using your local parts store OEM replacements will do you just fine.

 

Okay, I guess you must have misunderstood me and maybe I confused the question/statement. So I wanted Helpful Tips on how to get the valve cover gaskets and manifold & plenum gaskets Seated Properly so they don't leak because of the tight spaces near firewall. I continually have a leak because mechanics cannot get it right and which the oil leaks down on crank sensor and burns it out over time..expense replacement, which also causes a misfire with number 1 and or 2 eventually probably from the spark plug getting fouled out with oil, could be wrong, but won't know for sure unless I can correct the problem.

 

I use the Felpro gasket set , and use gasket sealant , I install a thin coat on the underside of the valve cover then CAREFULLY push the gasket in place being sure to line up the holes for the bolts , Then let sit to cure , I prefer overnight but a few hours will do. Install the tube seals the same way , Then when you go to reassemble put a light coat around where the tube seals seat on the underside of the valve cover , reassemble and torque to spec. Be sure the Head surfaces are clean and debris free
