You may want to make sure that the tubes themselves are set where they should be. I just did mine about 2 months ago and I used a wood block and a hammer to help knock them into place. They had just worked themselves loose after a while I guess.

 

a dohc doesnt have the tubes like a sohc.........on a dohc, the gaskets just sit on the head

 

thanks so much...I dont know what I would do without you guys

 

How do you get the "tube gaskets" out, i fought and fought adn couldnt, not even the lubricant properties of swearing worked.

 

I dont know, I guess I'll find out Thursday

 

Do you think this will fix my car driving real sluggish ? Its killing my gas badly!!!!!!!! and also do you think it might have something to do with my car overheating, since maybe the motor is working harder because of oil on my plugs ?
