DIY:Valve cover removal + gasket installation

remove the three clips (green), only a white clips/inserts are holding that black cover on the top so u can just rip it gently... enough to unclip the whole thing.also unbolt the intake manifold cover use

use 10mm to remove the 5 bolt (green)holding the heatshield,
use 12mm to remove the 4 bolt (yellow)

then just pull the heatshield

use 10mm to remove the cover.


remove the two 10mm bolts that holding the ignition coil, then unclip the wire connector then pull out the ignition coil.
unplugg the connector(yellow) take the hose out, use 10mm socket to remove the bracket.


use 10mm socket to remove all 6 botls.


take off the dipstick and the oil cap, then remove the 6 metal and rubber washer/gasket using your finger.


simply just pull the valvecover off.

clean the surface and scrape the remaining sealant.


clean the valvecover and put the new gasket, put a sealant on the every side and curvy edge of the valvecover.



installation: reverse the removal for installation.
7.4 ft/lb of TQ on the valvecover bolts.
88.5 in/lb of TQ on the valvecover bolts.
