Did you add the RTV to the entire edge or just the spots where you pointed at? It’s my first time doing anything like this and don’t wanna mess up. Awesome vid though thank you!
how did you get the valve cover back on with those nipple looking things I cannot get mine back on I've been trying for the past 30 minutes and it still ain't working
@@davidm3210 I was thinking that, but. I'm also worried about finding some plastic strong enough to pry on that without it breaking off and getting stuck.
@@AlKaseltzer87 Check out the Harbor Freight 4 piece Nonmarring scraper -I used it on my oil pan job so as not to gouge the aluminum front of the block. Then move to the other side and pry a bit, maybe a tap with a rubber mallet. Just work it off slowly and you should be be fine. You are right to be concerned about damaging the flange and I was going to get a new OEM but they are discontinued. I've heard that some of the aftermarkets are not quite right and the valves tap against them (see Eric the Car Guy).
Great vid my boi I needed that

Something else might be getting caught up
Mine hangs up on the right side of the engine, I've been a little too nervous to pry it off.
Maybe stick a blade in first just to break the seal
Maybe a plastic trim tool or scraper to avoid bending/gouging the flange

Do you know where I could buy the grommets for this car?
We were only able to find them at the dealer
