Valve Cover replacement questions
I have finally broke down and started replacing my valve cover gaskets on my 85 5.0 FI. I have run into some questions. I am having a problem getting the passenger side cover off. I do not want to hit or bend it too much. Also can someone recommend a good way to remove the gasket material that will not come off? is there a gasket removal product? Last question, it has been at least 20 years since I have done this. Is gasket sealer still needed with these new rubber gaskets? if so where do you put the sealer?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

I would try to use the rubber gasket only, reason being my old gasket melted and drained down into 2 of the push rod
holes and turn into something like hard black concrete. I had to remove the push rods and chisel it out while running
a shopvac to keep it from falling into the intake.. The shopvac came in very handy keeping things clean.
