How-To Install Oil Restrictor
Tools Needed:
-10mm/8mm socket, ratchet, and extension
-Flat head screw driver(for light pryinging)
-Razor Blade
Items Recommended:
-New valve cover gasket
-New tube seals
-RTV silicone
Install:
Remove Coil pack and wires using your 10mm socket/ratchet/extension(4 bolts) Unclip the harness connected to the coilpack and set the coil pack/wires aside.
Remove the 9, 10mm bolts holding the valve cover on.
Disconnect the hose connected to the pcv valve
Remove valve cover
(Be carefull not to drop anything inside the head while valve cover is off)
Remove the two 8mm bolts holding the cam sensor on.
Remove the two 10mm bolts and one 8mm bolt holding the cam cover on.
Cam cover is sealed down to the head with a special glue. Use the screw driver in one of the previous 10mm bolt holes to wiggle it loose.
Once off you will notice two holes used as oil passages and the actuall oil path on the underside of the cam cover.
The restrictor is put into the hole closer to the camshaft/driverside of the car with the machined end first.
Scrape off some of the remaining sealer used on the cam cover, and use a really small dab of RTV silicone in its place. Make sure the silicone does NOT get anywhere near the cam or the oil passages(apply extremely lightly).
Re-install everything along with the new gaskets and tube seals and start the car.
Allow the engine to fully heat up before driving it and your good to go.
