Car - 1968 Camaro - L6

How hard is it to replace the valve cover gasket on this engine? The one that is on it has started to get a little leaky and you can see on the intake side of the engine where it's leaks a little oil and it runs down the side of the block. The exuast side is mostly dry although there are some wet spots; in some cases making it to the exaust and smoking.

Anything else I need to know? Specific torque on valve cover bolts?

EDIT: Should replacement gasket be rubber or cork?

Thanks in Advance! :thumbsup:

This job would basically be duck soup if you wanted to do it yourself... Most motors manuals will tell you what to do .. Torqueing is a no brainer... just enuff to get some squish to your cork gaskets. Most rubber does not absorb enuff to seal properly.

It's cake. Just put a few dabs of silicone on the cover and let it set up a little to keep the gasket in place. Just don't overtighten it.

Easy as pie. Just snug the bolts with your palm. You don't need no stinking torque wrench!
