Valve Cover Gaskets
Has anyone here had their valve covers done? Been trying to find threads but all i can find is timing cover post.
Curious if RTV is used in the process of replacing the gaskets. Getting my tube seals redone in a week or so and I'm nervous. |

You put some in a few spots on the cover.

Just did them a few weeks ago, followed that diagram^

Yeah follow the tech manual. Consider getting a gasket set too, to replace the spark plugs gaskets. I did mine like last month.

I think my valve covers are also leaking. Is it possible to remove said covers without having to removing the front timing cover? Can this also be done without pulling out / removing the whole engine from the engine bay? Also, does one have to drain the oil before removing the valve covers?
I need also to replace my spark plug tube seals and would be doing it at the same time as this. |

What’s the valve cover torque spec?

If you look in @Ultramaroon's sig he has the manuals linked. Just don't beat him at Dejarik or he will rip your arms off. |

Here’s the factory seal on mine. Seems excessive, but effective. It was the plug tube that failed on me. Looks like even touched the cam, I put a smaller bead. Attachment 208093
