Valve Covers

Hey i just bought new chrome valve covers and gaskets, but my neighbor just told me that putting the gaskets on is very hard. is this true? anyone have any tips? or is it just basically put the gasket on then the valve covers?

im sure someone can help me?

ummm, I didnt think it required instructions....its pretty cut and dried

So all i do is put the gasket on then the valve cover and thats it? nothin tricky?

ya might put some silicone on the gasket

ok then do i need to lube the underside of the valve covers or the valves? and once i put the cover on do i need to do anything then?

If this is an 86 or newer motor with centerbolts, use nuttin, just the rubbery valve covers. they should never leak then.

its a 77 model

no, you dont have to lube anything. just clean all mating surfaces and then apply some silicone to the gasket and put it back together

okay thanks
