Hello, I am ready to turn wrenchs on the valve cover's one at a time. Can anybody give me some references and advice before I do so? It's a bit intimidating because I can't find any write-ups or videos/pics on this.

I have made it this far with all the advice, pics and videos on tearing down top of the motor to get this far. Thank you!

Do I need to remove anything else besides the intake manifold and electrical connectors? How about installation? Do I put these gaskets in dry with no sealants etc.? Any assistance and/or advice as alway is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Here's a complete teardown of a 3.0 engine / rebuild.....may help some?

Hope it helps buddy

 

Thanks Jim, it's a good start. I am wondering if I need any gasket sealant or if these go on dry? Also, until my repair/tech manual comes I am looking to see what more I may need to take off to gain access to pull these covers off. Also, torque specs?
