Oil leaking in spark plug tube shorting out the spark plug causing misfire in our 2006 Honda Odyssey. Can you recommend the list of gaskets to change? Thank you

Hello,

You need to get is the Valve Cover Gasket Set it should include the Grommets for the spark plug tubes, and I believe you will need to Intake Manifold Gaskets I don't remember exactly if there is enough room to get valve covers off with having to remove it but you should be able to look at it and tell. If you can get to the cover bolts easily, meaning you can see and have about 2 - 3 inches of space between the cover and the intake, then you should have to take the intake off.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much, this does help. I see the sparkplug tube upper gaskets come in the valve cover kit. The only other question I have is; are there gaskets at the bottom end of the sparkplug tubes, or are the tubes cast to the head during manufacturing and permanently sealed?
