About to change my valve cover gasket this weekend. Never done one on a 5S, just wondering if I should keep an eye out for any surprises, anything special I'd have to do or if it's pretty straight forward like most other engines?

looks like I need to replace a valve cover gasket. I saw Special Edy's video, in the video he mentioned posting more pics, did he ever do that?
love to see. them. As for gaskets, I thought I read somewhere about a metal gasket, but that may have been for a main seal. Is there a type of preferred gasket for the valve gasket and tube seals? Fel pro ok? Napa mentions a set with grommets, what are those? |
