These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 1999 911 with 70k miles. There is a bit of oil on my spark plugs. I want to change the spark plug tubes & valve cover gaskets. Where should I get them? And am I doing the right thing? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Bit of a challenge , is it worth the time, or just taking a rag and wiping the area down every few weeks Hi RR i did this procedure - tube replacement on 2 tubes + spark plugs i am sure you will get alot more feedback than I provide, Here is my recap being a rookie, I wanted as much access as possible 1 loosen muffler clamps - to see it the need to be replaced /rusted - best to do this before ordering parts 2 removed rear wheels 3 remove bumper 4 remove mufflers you can get the job done form here, but it would be easier if you can remove the muffler support brackets 5 remove muffler brackets, these will likely be hard to remove due to age and rust. you might liquid wrench & heat over a day + to see it they will break loose before breaking the stud off in the block tip ( not mine, just researched ) boat drain plug 1" expandable to 1.5" to pull the tube out wood door knob 1.25" to use as a tap tube into block many videos to outline the various steps above. I made a video, and lost it on my phone. Be the hero, and document this for all of us. My time, 2 nights approx 6-8 hrs total all the best mark

You can get the tube seals here at Pelican, and I assume the correct sealant as well (though I have not had checked to see if they have the correct sealant). You will need a few other seals if you are pulling the cam cover as well. You could also get new tubes if your are cracked. You could also check with a local Independent service facility, I am sure they could supply you with what you need, and offer advice and guidance at the same time!
