Re: Valve Cover Gasket Issues

the seals will come off the bolts... they are a pain, i usually slip a deep well socket over them and tap them off with a tapular device such as a hammer. going on with the new seals you can go the same route in the opposite manner, but you may just want to try to work them on with your fingers as to not damge the seal.... for you stripped out bolt hole issue you will have to put in a helicoil. go to the parts store with your bolt size and thread pitch and buy the kit for doing them. its easy to do... just make sure you dont get metal shavings in the motor when your doing it. if you have more questions ask away
