PirateMechanic Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hello everyone! I just recently signed up and had a question to ask everyone... When installing new Valve Cover Spark Plug Seals, which way are the seals installed into the Valve Cover? I'm currently completing a engine rebuild on a 3.5 ltr LE. I've had some small setbacks through the process, and now I find myself at the point of installing the Valve Covers, but I need to install the Spark Plug Seals first. The covers are clean and the seals have been removed for a while now. I was wondering if anyone knew which direction the seals are installed into the cover. I have the FSM and a Chilton manual for reference but neither specifies the direction of the seals are when installed. Thanks for your input!

MY1PATH Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Does this help?http://lh5.ggpht.com/JimShepardson/SBuk_eJQbuI/AAAAAAAAAWc/GJAfH0_5mLE/2008-04-30%20valve%20covers%20003.jpg?imgmax=800 Looks like they push up through the bottom so the tube compresses them against the inside of the cover.
