How To Replace The Valve Cover Gasket on a Kia Rio 1.6L (2006 to 2011 Models) 

Try using a plastic scraper instead of a flathead screwdriver to remove the old the gasket. The metal will cause chipping and you don’t want that.

Just saved $500 by watching this video.

These cars are so damn simple and easy to fix up and parts are cheap. Surprising that they are quite reliable. I have a 2006 Rio base model with a 5 speed with 188k miles no lights or anything still going strong as hell. Only thing i need to do is the struts, but im saving up for some lowering springs or coilovers. Its actually quite a nice car.

Watched the whole thing and don’t even have a Kia 😂 . Good job

GREAT video! I want to change spark plugs and coil packs on my daughter's Rio today only to find a lot of oil where there shouldn't be any. This video is immensely helpful! Thanks a lot

Dont need anti-seize on NGK's, they use a thread that will crumble instead of seize

You should start the tightening sequence from the center bolts and rotate outwards .

So could the oil that's leaking into the coil be the cause of a misfire?

Try some engine flush on the next oil change. Looked pretty sludged up there.

Great dude. Much thanks for the video. No I can replace the gasket!!

Was hoping to see you do the tightening down of the bolts. I had issues getting the 2 bolts on the side in. Everything else was great

What seal did you use ? And what did you use on the spark plugs ??

Enjoyed every bit of this and it is so clearly understood.

How did you go about getting the back top right bolt on the head? It's in a tight spot and I haven't been able to get that one bolt

What the torque?

Well done brother..keep it up 👍

Hey bruh i have the same car as your but my engine code is telling me it a 1.4L engine instead of 1.6L so what is your engine code? Mine is G4EE

everything but getting the rubber rings out!

Teacher where the thermostat of that Kia is located

my kia rio 2011 model valve cover is broken, Please advice a link or Part code for Valve Cover

Profe donde se encuentra el termostato de ese Kia

Mine has water in the spark plug well/hole. How is that possible?

Is it the same gasket for the 1.4 engine too?

Uh... Went a little crazy with that sealant, eh? Lol How's she running now? Any updates from the buyer? And was it running when you first bought it at auction?

I had oil on my spark plugs is it the gasket valve cover or the rings

Went smooth as silk! Good video 🙂

Thank you for the upload! I have a Hyundai Accent with same engine. I've been chasing a misfire for too long. There's a chance it's my PCV valve- after changing nearly everything else. Found oil all over my expensive new spark plugs, so I need to change those gaskets. What valve cover gasket are you using (appears to be quality silicone), how much, and does it come with the gaskets for the spark plug tubes? Thanks!

Very nice..Good job👍

No torque specs

Great effort, well done

Is there torque specs for the valve cover bolts?

Great job 👏

How do you take the plastic cover off. That sits on top of the engine?
