New Valve Cover Gasket Set from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/1AEG...
The valve cover seals the top of the engine, keeping the environment out, and engine oil in. When the gasket breaks down and begins to leak you can have a mess, or eventually, potential engine damage. This video shows you how to install a new valve cover gasket set on your 2000-2006 Chevy Tahoe.

Just a warning that I tore a few grommets in half by installing them using the method shown in the video. I had better luck putting the grommet on the bolt and then installing it in the valve cover. The brand I used was Fel-Pro. Besides that I appreciate the videos!
I was just going to comment that also. Had to use one of my originals as broke the first one I tried. All the rest I put them on first before installing them into the valve cover.
Same
I should have read the comments first
That's the way I do it as well.
I've found the easiest way for myself to do all the valve gaskets. Is taking the air intake off and I also replace the oil pressure sensor at the same time, because chances are if the valve covers are leaking so isn't the oil pressure sending unit. It makes it easier to remove the valve covers and install them. So air intake off, coil packs off, valve covers, then go in the steps in reverse.
Put the bolt through the grommet first, then install it in valve cover
About to do this repair myself as the passenger side is leaking/spraying onto the header heat shield...I'd recommend to check your rear main seal as well as your oil pan and pick up tube O ring if you're having some "oil issues" or "oil pressure issues" with high mileage on you 1500 Sierra/Silverado
Thank you, all the other vids I've found only do the driver side, this vid is a huge help, thank you
Excellent! Very clear and quick. Thank you.
To keep the gasket in place I put it into the grove and held it in front of an electric heater for a few minutes while holding the gasket in place. Eventually it relaxed enough to stay. I did not have to use any gasket sealer to hold it.
About 8ft pounds if you don't have an inch pound torque wrench
An excellent tutorial!
Thanks a lot!
Don’t put that bolt gaskets on the way he did. You will just break them in half.
How does it go on?
@@MrsBuddevil Did you get it??
I used a little oil and put them on the bolt the way you install a tire, put one side on then push the other side on. I Cleaned them off then popped them into the valve cover.
Thanks for the video.
Is that One 106 foot pound of torque the correct specs I seen some that say 100 or 76
Can you leave the coil pack bracket on when taking out the cover?
Silicone gaskets?
Question. So the valve covers on my engine do not have that intake vacuum line port/hole. But my throttle body has port for a vacuum line. Do i have the wrong throttle body?. I bought the 2001 Tahoe and i dont believe it has the original engine. I believe its a 4.8l
Mi chevy tahoe 2007 esta tirando aceite.y al parecer es esa tapa.crees que es bueno cambiarla por otra nueva.o solo los empaques,que me recomiendas
Did you use a matco screwdriver?
What is the third part for
Where does the graphite gasket go?
You know the little one grey one
I think it’s for the knock sensor under the air intake manifold in between both valve covers
oil filter (if you have one)
near drain plug underneath.
Will this work for all GM/GMC models of this year?
+@omni201 Yes, depending on the exact model of your vehicle this repair should be the same or similar for your vehicle.
What about the driver's side?
Hey mane this be being a good video but can a shade tree brotha be doin this job at home bone? I be havin alot of tools
+Wayne Williams Yes, you can certainly attempt this job at home.
I don't think I saw where you changed out a seal for the oil fill spout. Can that be changed as well or is that not intended to be removed?
It's a o-ring you can take it out and clean it but be careful you don'y break it
Previos owner rtvd my cover on and now I can’t take it off any tips ?????
I can’t get the gasket to stay in place. I’ll get it but no help here.
Excelente 👌
Does anybody know where that tiny gasket goes? It has 2 holes and comes with the kit
I think it was suppose to go on the space shuttle challenger 😢
@@rudylovato2759 😂💀
@@rudylovato2759 ahah
i believe i read somwwhere that its a gasket for the oil filter (if you have one) underneath the oil pan near the drain plug.
It helps seal the blinker fluid in the turn signal lenses.
Not sealant needed? And anywhere to remove access oil from plugs or wells?
Do I need to replace my spark plugs still? And do both sides? V8
@@momoneymafia6949 always replace spark plugs evenly if you have to replace them in the first place. If one is nasty you have more than just a valve cover problem
What about the other side
You never see them change the drivers side why is that
Camera works sucks. Couldn't see any details. Good view of the back of the guy's hands. Get a flashlight or light source to shine into a dark engine bay while filming. Slow down explanation and camera angle changes. Remember who your audience is- guys/girls who have never done this before...generally.
