Looking for some advise on doing this procedure.
Reason for me to do the swap is I noticed a little oil on my spark plugs when I just changed them a couple days ago. I've planning on doing the gasket swap and the Spark ring seals while I'm at it. I have no visible external leaks what so ever and the car runs great. I don't have a way to do a compression test nor does my car blow any smoke nor burn oil.


Question 1) Do I need to replace the top cover bolts with new bolts before tightening everything up?

Question 2) Is there anything I should know before doing this job? I've read the DIY here on the forum and it looks real easy.

Cheers,

 

Heres the service manual notes on the removal & installation

Dont think you need to replace the valve cover bolts

 

Get too frisky when prying off the cover and buy and new one. Over torque the bolts and buy a new one. Other than that, shake and bake.

 

Thanks for posting the info, I will use the above to tackle the job.

Cheers
