Valve Cover Gasket

[Derek Pulvino]

Brett,

Faily simple.  As I remember, the only catch is you need to remove the
Intake manifold, so make sure you have a new gasket on hand.  AND...be
careful retorqueing.  Those bolts that hold on the valve cover are made of
silly-putty I believe.  They break very easily!

I used a torque wrench set to factory spec, and still twisted several to
their demise, and my cursing frustration.  Same applies for the bolt/nuts
that hold on the spark plug wire cover.

b)valve cover(noticed it, thought it was a trickle, but according to
Eli, "It's pretty sizeable, and we don't really know what's involved
to get in there..."  Reassured him it was a 'weekend project' for me,
I'd take care of it, other listers had said it wasn't hard, etc.
That does explain the puddle that I thought was the Fumoto
valve(well, the fumoto leaks too, another story, another time.)
