ok, i know i have seen here about the valve cover leaking. while I'm digging in to the job of pulling the exhaust manifold, i figure i will get the valve cover gasket swapped too. what brand to purchase? any better than the other?

 

Fel-Pro PermaDry/PermaDryPlus is the way to go for the valve cover gasket. The PermaDry is rubber coated steel and the PermaDryPlus is silicone coated steel, both are far superior to the standard cork gaskets.

 

The Magnum VS25002 MaxDry Valve Cover Gasket keeps your oil inside where you want it.

 

x2 I use these on all my cars.

 

This^^.

While you have it off, do my Tip # 25.

 

x2. tip #25 is very simple. did it myself. took only a few minutes to do.

 

well before i saw these replies, i purchased the $36 fel pro permadry plus from advance auto parts. will be installing tomorrow and also doing the tip 25 mod. then wednesday the exhaust manifold will be coming in. yay, so much fun lol. thanks a lot y'all

 

@cruiser, Can you upload the picture again on tip #25. I am going to be doing mine in the next couple weeks but am slower than some and need visuals. Thanks.

Maybe it is my decrepit laptop but there is no picture in the link, it has a spot where it should be that says to click on it for full size and when I do it acts like it is going to open but won't.

 

Must be your laptop.

 

I get the same thing, no pic

 

I'm having the same issue, cliffy. It doesn't show on my phone or laptop, but I see it posted on here now.
There are a couple pics that don't show on the list of tips. I don't know why. Thank you for posting that new one up

 

This is what I get when I try to load in a new window. Weird.

 

Try the pdf link below it. It's not as complete as the CF one.

I'm toying with my own webpage or google hosting my stuff.
