I've got a bad oil leak....

[chaddicus]

Penzoil says I need to replace the valve cover gasket. How do I go about replacing this and is it difficult?

thanks

Disconnect anything attached to your valve cover (ie hoses, wires, etc) and the nuts holding down the valve cover. Lift the valve cover. Put the new gasket on that goes around the head and also the ones for the spark plugs. Where you see a half circle on the gasket, apply RTV. Put the valve cover back on and make sure it's all in the grooves (helps to put the gasket in the valve cover first and then apply the rtv to the moon plugs then pop the gasket and valve cover on at the same time), put on the nuts and reattach everything that was attached to the valve cover.
