In my eagerness to continue my newbie mechanic adventures with my 2000 CE, I bought new spark pug leads to go with the new spark plugs. I was confused as to why I have four plugs, but the box of new leads contained just two. I've since realised that I did indeed only fit two leads, because I didn't buy new ignition coils (right?) which are WAY more expensive. So, even though this isn't a bad thing, have I made a bit of an error in buying just the two leads which obviously connect to only two plugs, with the other two plugs still running off the old coils? (Can't afford new coils, not yet anyway).
Also, when I fitted the new plugs, the old plugs had an amount of oil around them. Not lots, but a good coating. I figure this isn't right. If my research is right, I think I need to buy and fit a new valve cover gasket and seals? Is this correct? I hope so because the replacement is only about $60 and the job looks within my capabilities.
Cheers
