Looking for a HOW TO change the valve cover gaskets. The front one, I have no issues, but the rear is going t be a pitta. Does any1 has a link on HOW to do it. The engine is leaking bad on the rear valve cover.

Thanks

 

too bad you live in FL; if you lived out here id give you a hand.

 

I did this last year... and have some pics up... its not hard

Let me see if I can find my referal links.

 

I think one of the most important steps, other then remembering the gasket, is the order you tighten the bolts/screws. Did a cover on a 4-cyl with a buddy, He thought you could just tighten them down however. He leaked oil and had to do it again 10 min after starting to drive it.

 

heres my thread from way back

Also the fsm has the breakdown of steps so check in there too.

Good luck... i'd put a day aside just in case.

 

Thank You kukx I will be ordering parts this week and work on it.. Thanks for the How To, you save a lot of money here.
