What happens if my spark plug tube seals are leaking?

Leaking spark plug tube seals allow oil to enter the spark plug wells. This can foul the spark plugs, leading to misfires, rough idling, and reduced engine performance. It can also damage the ignition coil or spark plug boot over time.

Does this seal come with a new valve cover gasket?

This product is for the spark plug tube seals only. If your vehicle's design requires it, you may need to purchase a separate valve cover gasket kit to complete the job.

How do I know if I need to replace these seals?

You should inspect your spark plug wells for oil during routine maintenance or if you experience symptoms like misfires or rough running. If you see oil pooling in the wells or on the spark plugs themselves, it's time to replace the seals.
