Re: Olds Alero Valve Cover Gasket Replacement... What the?! (What is wrong here?)
Just in case anyone else does a search for this... here is what I found out... the covers on top are actually for the cam shafts. Beneath that are the valves. So you have to loosen the cover on the side (right next to where you fill the oil) and remove gears in there so you can get to a few bolts that are holding the cam shaft covers and valve covers on. To get the gears off you need to take the timing chain off the gears. It is a lot of work in a lot of tight spaces. And a torque wrench is a must on this one.
Checkout ChiltonLibrary.com for some instructions.
Have fun!
