Okay, while I was changing my spark plugs, i found that #4 spark plug was covered with oil.
After searching the forum, I found out that the oil seal was the cause.
I guess I know what cause the problem. Recently, I did some experiment routing PCV and breather line.
When I did that first time, I connect PCV and breather line together in loop. LOL
Of course that made a lot of pressure build up in the head and the only way out was the #4 spark plug seal.
Here's my question,
Now I fixed the PCV lines and no pressure build up in the head anymore.
1. Is that possible not to change the seal because there's no excessive pressure build up in the head anymore?
2. or is it permanently damaged already?
3. If I have to change the seal, what's the exact name of it? so that I can order at auto zone or advance auto part.
4. head cover gasket, spark plug seals, and what else you need? (like RTV gasket maker)
