Ok guys, now i got the old one out as it was a pain in the A. i put the new ones on the valve cover slide it on to the head and i find out it wont go flush with the spark plug hole, i was thinking i may have put it in upside down or the wrong way into the valve cover. does anyone have a picture of the seals how they sit inside the valve cover. its a d16z6

Are you sure they are the correct ones? Did you compare the new ones with the old ones side by side to be sure they are the same?

Actually the old ones were very bad. theres no way to compare them, but it does fit the valve cover with a little tap. it came with the valve cover rubber seal in a kit at auto advance. I took one out and tried it on the spark plug hole and it seems that the inner circle is a little big, but at the same time it fits inside the valve cover :?
