How to Reconnect the Valve Cover Plug Wires

Video Transcript

"Hello, I am Mark blocker on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment we're going to cover installing the plug wires. After installing the valve covers we're going through the reverse procedure as we lay the plug wires back where they came, you'll see their length and how they're held in their loom. It all lays out into a chronological order. As you remember, I've got the nut here, I've got this bracket assembly that attaches to the valve cover with this six millimeter bolt with a ten millimeter nut that we removed earlier. So first we'll replace that. A thing to remember with automotive repair is patience. If you get frustrated it's real easy to get in a hurry and kind of force things and break, strip or cross thread fastening devices. Just take your time and be patient. It can be difficult at times. After putting it in finger tight I'll just quickly tighten it down. Just bring it to where it's snug and just give it a little additional twist. It doesn't require a lot of torque, they're small bolts and they break easily. Now we simply just install the plug wires one at a time. When you slide it down in, push it. You'll kind of feel it click and then make sure that outer cap, just run your hand around it and push it down, make sure that it seals tightly on the top. Install each wire. And that's all there is to installing the plug wires. Please watch our next segment on "Installing the Hoses"."
