Does anyone know where I can find a DIY for the front and rear valve cover gaskets as well as the spark plug gaskets? I have some leaks and need to replace them. I'm no mechanic, but I'm very handy and will be able to do it myself. I just need a hand with some directions or pictures. Thanks!

Also, I have a Type-S if that makes a difference.

 

Heres one for valve adjustment which shows what needs to be removed, scroll down for pics : https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...adjustment+diy

Its for a 99 that uses a different intake plenum, For the Type S just unbolt the top plate to reveal the intake bolts.

 

Thanks!

 

Ill make a quick DIY:


"THE EASY WAY":
Good thing about having a Type S is that our Manifold is a 3 Piece design so you can remove both front and rear plenums and remove the Valve Covers..


1.- Remove the IMRC Motor (The little motor on top of rear valve covers)
2.- Remove all HEX bolts in both front and rear plenums in the Manifold
3.- DONE


"THE LONG WAY FOR VALVE ADJUSTMENT EASYNESS AND BASE MODEL OWNERS"


1.- Remove Air filter top plate and remove the air duct from VSA TB
2.- Unplug all connections from VSA + TB + IAC
3.- Remove the bolt securing the VSA TB from the Transmission
4.- Remove all vacuum lines and Anti/freeze lines from VSA + IACV
5.- Remove the Intake Manifold top bolts (10mm) and remember the aluminum gasket direction (Top and Down and Left to Right because it can be installed in both wrong ways)
6.- Remove the IMRC Motor and Link line (The little Motor on top of rear valve cover)
7.- Remove all bolts in the Manifold (12mm? cant recall)
8.- REMOVE Entire Manifold Assembly with TB and VSA.
9.- Remove Valve Covers.




So id try the EASY WAY first dunno... seems like a more hassle free route. BUT the easy way can be challenging if you are adjusting your valves so it only works if you are replacing gaskets only. The headstrong might wanna adjust valves with the EASY WAY but it only makes it 100x more difficult for the rear valves and removing the manifold isn't that hard.


Hope it helps, I think I had it most but if something is overlooked feel free to add it on a quote.
