[s-cars] Valve Cover gasket/Bleeder valve replacement......

[Jim Fleischer]

Hey guys,

So, I've got a dealer sourced gasket coming, and before I pull the trigger on the bleeder valve underneath, I was wondering if there is anything else under there I need to address while I'm there.  Hoping not to run into any surprises, as I need to do this and be up and running right away (unfortunately no second vehicle at the moment.) I seem to remember mention of some possibly brittle hoses to deal with.....anyone have specifics on hose sizes I'll be looking at?  I'd like to have a few lengths on hand.  Anyone have a link to photos of what I'll find under there?

Also, should I just replace the PVC (regulator) valve at the same time?  I kinda want to replace individually to isolate the issue.  I think the regulator valve is outside the valve cover anyway under the throttle body.....am I correct?  Kinda tough to get to.

I guess I should replace some of the hoses behind the valve cover.......

Many thanks in advance!
