    Thanks for the video! When I loosened one of the middle 4 nuts, the stud came out with it. I couldn't get the stud to separate from the nut so I just put it back together as one unit. Do you think that will be ok?

      +@robertliehr4366 should be ok 👍

    So tell us. Did it leak afterwards? How long did you need it to sit before starting the engine assuming 1hr due to sealant you used needing to harden. A follow up to video would have been great. Did you check if the valve cover was warped and perhaps no matter how many vcg you replace the valve cover needed to be replaced.

      +RoosterCountry Media no leaks afterwards! Yes, just waited for the suggested dry time and all was good.

    Hi there! Great video! Question. How long it took you to change the Valve Cover Gasket? Thanks! I’m planning to do mine for preventive maintenance before an oil change and spark plugs replacement. Thank you.

    I snapped one of the threads that the bolts go on as I was torquing them, be careful of that.

    You disconnect the battery first before all this right ?
