Very helpful! Thank you for sharing this video. (1984 454ci ..... Didn't know any better the first time changing the gaskets and over tightened the bolts. Now I know better this time. Thank you)

Beautiful Malibu. Headers not withstanding the engine compartment is so stock looking and clean. I love it!

Very well nice informative video. Not to complicated an well documented. Im about to change gaskets on my 350csb

Thank you for this video! I’m currently having to daily my 1978 Monte Carlo unfortunately and it’s making realize how much I’ve been needing to do to it haha

Thank you for this great video! I'm about to go change mine on my 51 Chevy

That’s one sanitary small block, great video👍🏽👍🏽

Thank you for this video now about to change mine on my 1979 Buick lesabre.

I replaced my valve cover gaskets on a '67 Oldsmobile 425 that were leaking, and three hours after I finished, they were leaking even more! I used the red RTV, not black, and I don't think I used enough of it. Looks like the key is to smear a thin coat evenly across all surfaces. I'll give it another shot when the weather warms up a bit, thanks for this video!

You might know but my dad showed my a good trick, since you have replacements covers to put on you can take your old covers and cut out just the top all the way around so if you ever need to adjust valves while it's running you can put them on real quick and be able to adjust while it runs without oil flying every where, Thanks Joey From Statesville NC

I miss the days when you could actually work on engines like that

Thanks for the informative video 👍🏼

Thanks for showing me bro👍 and I'm about to have a drink👍 I'm done... 2018.. Yeah...

Nice Video i Love it ✌🏻☝️❤️

Good video my friend..... Cluster Head Customs

Thanks I'm going to do same thing with my 1969 Chevrolet Elcamino Malibu

Hi. I own a 70 impala and I never use a sealant on cork gasket. But, your video is great.😎😇👍🏽

Thumbs up 2023, i installed mine with rubber gaskets & tiny bit of ancient rtv, failed. Installed same rubber gaskets with too much bew rtv, failed. Going to buy new cork gaskets and place small amount of rtv between cover and gasket then install to succeed - not overtighten or over rtv!! Sheesh. 3rd times the dinner winner

I'm doing the same thing to my 1983 Oldsmobile Delta 88... It's got a 307 in it

Good tutorial brother

Great video watching over and over. I have rubber still core gaskets. How much black sealant to add around. I have some tiny spots 0.5 mm gap between gasket and bolt hole not completely flat which are covered if push gasket to that spot a little.

THANK YOU SIR. I appreciate the chronic pain comments. back shoulders knees and fingers. Im still gonna spin a wrench. God Bless. c2nRDU

Do you prefer cork over silicon gaskets and if so, why? I'm about to put new valve covers on my '65 C10 with a 327. Thanks for the instructional.

I don’t know if you know an answer to this. But I have a question I have valve covers that look kind of like those on my 1976 350 V8 and it’s very tricky to fill the oil since the brake booster and all the other stuff is in the way since the oil fill on the driver side valve cover is in the back is it possible to flip the valve cover 180° or is it only designed to fit one way?

Any help here. I'm purchased a truck with valve cover off heads looks dirt how can I clean the heads with out taking it off. Any advice?

I have those same valve covers on my 305 I want to upgrade on the black and red Chevrolet My problem is they only have 1 hole on each side of valve covers One for pvc and The other side oil fill and vacuum hose Can I use pvc plug where the oil would go in ?

I have 1983 s10, V6 2.8L and how can I replace the inside of Valve Cover or cleaning it? because I sandblast it!I'm afraid it had some sand in it and I don't want to put it back to screw up my engine! what can I do??? thank you

I ordered chrome valve covers from lmc truck for my 93 silverado 5.7 liter I had to spin both covers around to make them fit and switch ends for the pcv valve and the oil fill cap is this normal

Good video. I have a 305 in a 85 K10 with 74,000 original miles. I need to change my value cover gaskets. Do you have any tips on how to get more power out of the 305 with out total rebuild. It runs great but lacks in power. Thank you

My valve covers on my 283 on my 1963 C10 have Phillips head screws holding them in and they are rusty as hell how do I get those out without stripping them

Hello, I have STP high heat grease. Could I use that instead of the black silicone or silicone paste?

4:54 how do you take off that pipe?

So why use the black gasket maker? I was told just the other day when I bought my valve cover gasket with cork gaskets not to use any sealant’s. I noticed the video is 4 years old.
