[V8] Valve Cover Gasket RR?

[Dave Saad]

It is easy - but there are two studs under the spark plug wire cover/ 
caps. Be sure to get them. Also be sure to torque the bolts to avoid  
leaks in the future. I think it is 7 lbs/ft but consult the manual.

Also make sure the gasket does not roll off on the passenger rear or  
driver front side. This is the side the cam chain is on. My old dry  
gasket did that and it made a big mess. It was a good excuse to get a  
new gasket though...
