Great video especially showing in detail the challenging angles. I too will be having to repair the pass. side valve cover gasket soon. I plan to remove the 2ndary air pump studs & replace them w/ regular 10 or 12 mm bolts since I can't really see and reason for the studs. Thanks again!
Just did my plugs yesterday and found oil in the front plug hole. I guess this is my next fix. Is there a reason you don’t just leave the plugs in until the valve cover is off? It would keep the crud out.
Ooh.Good luck. As for the plug, I never thought of it, never tried it. I don't see why it wouldn't work to leave it in. If you try it let me know how it works for you.
Confirmed today that the plugs don’t need to come out! Thanks again for posting this video. Just knowing where all the bolts are that have to come out saves a BUNCH of time. Start to finish in about 2 hours, including an oil change.
thank you for making this. I was looking for a full video of my pickup and you did the exact pick up. I got the same felpro part too. I'm going in this weekend. Wish me luck!
thank you for posting this video, I now have the confidence to replace my valve cover gasket. Did you consider changing the valve cover gasket on the other side ?
Glad you found it helpful. I toyed with the idea very briefly. I went with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality in the end. It's not currently leaking, and breaking that seal for nothing seemed like just added work with no additional benefit.
