Spark plug tube seals !!HELP!!
Alright so I changed the valve cover gasket and decided that sinc eI had the valve cover off I would change the spark plug tube seals also. Well, now they leak like a water fountain on steroids.
Does anyone know where I can get OEM seals to correct this problem?
Point me to a website or something?

RE: Spark plug tube seals !!HELP!!
Alright after some exhaustive searching HAHA....
There is a website that carries OEM honda replacement parts.
The dealer here wanted an arm and a leg for just the 4 seals....
So to the internet I turned as always.
http://www.hondiscountparts.com
YES I know it looks like it is mis-spelled but its not. That is the website, and man they got a lot of good stuff on there.
Complete OEM valve cover gasket and all 4 seals for 37.87 shipped. Almost 100 cheaper than the local dealer. BASTARDS!
And from the pictures of the seals, they are OEM, and not junky fel-pro BS....

RE: Spark plug tube seals !!HELP!!
i can't see why the fel-pro would leak.
i have never changed mine and i have an 88 honda civic with a 1493 cc.
but i know i need a new vavle cover gasket and i was wondering if i should change those spark plug gaskets.
so where does it leak into - is that from the valve area down into hole where the spark plug is located ??

Let me tell you about our friends fel-pro....
The valve cover gasket was NOT an OEM fit at ALL. I had to cut it to shorten it up and entire 3 inches.
The tube seals are cheap very THIN pieces of plastic feeling rubber.
The oil is leakin past the seals into the tubes, and filling them up in turn destroying the ignition spark and making her miss like my wife when she shoots my M4. It has also destroyed 2 out of 4 of the wires....nasty.
I would reccomend ordering the OEM set from that website link I posted above. it was only 37.87 shipped to USA. Exactly like the parts I removed...direct drop in...fixed the issue.
