ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    Valve Cover Gasket questions

    Yes, I read the DIY located here: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=82699

    It was very helpful and I'm basically ready to do this as my 92ex has been leaking oil from around the valve cover for a while now. However, I have a couple total noob questions that don't seem to be addressed by the DIY & I couldn't find by searching other threads.

    1) Is there any trick to removing the spark plug covers, the intake hose and the fuel injection hose? The DIY simply says to 'remove' them - are they just plugged in and can be removed by pulling up on them - or is there a tool needed? I don't see any clips/bolts/etc holding them in place...

    2) Do you really need to remove the spark plugs? The DIY did but referenced that some people don't. I don't have a spark plug adaptor...and for some reason pulling the spark plugs makes me somewhat nervous. I guess I don't see the value in removing them as part of this project...is there a danger of damaging them if they're still in when I remove the valve cover?

    3) The DIY says that the bolts on the valve cover should be retighted to "finger tight and then a bit more" - but I'd swear that I'd seen on other threads here that there was an actual lbs that they were supposed to be set to. Any issues with the "finger tight and then a bit more advice"? I'd prefer not to a) strip one of the bolts or 2) have the valve cover so loose that I create a new set of problems!

    Thanks in advance. I can post a picture of the leaking valve cover from my car here if that's of any value.
