zackcj7 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I really didn't really expect replacing the valve cover gasket on my '88 to be an all day job... What a pain. The Felpro Perma Dry Plus gasket fell right into place. But I had to remove the top radiator hose from the thermostat housing to get the cover to line up. Then it took me over a hour to get the rear bolt started. To top it all off the CCV hose fell apart when I removed it from the valve cover so now I have to wait for a replacement before I can even test it out. I did find out that a mini shop vac works great for removing sludge from the rocker area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyt120 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 at least you didnt bust three bolts like i did :doh: btw that red looks good :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackcj7 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 The bolts came out easily. Some a little too easily. I had a can of red high temp paint on the shelf so I just went with it. It turned out pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I love that gasket. I've done a couple of them recently and every time I go in to get a gasket I have to argue with the parts store jockey that I do indeed want to spend $40 on a gasket instead of $10 for the cork. :shake: Never had any issues with leaking and they're reusable. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
