Valve cover gasket install?

Post by azazel19 »

I have a 2000 lanos hatchback with a leaky valve cover gasket. What is the procedure to chage it out? I got the valve cover gasket kit that I ordered from the GM dealer that has the O-rings for the sparkplug tunnels. I want to change it myself but I also don't want to do it wrong and make it worse. thanks for any help.

the last valve cover I changed was fairly easy on my 91 civic dohc
just remove scrape off old gasket make sure you get it all gasoline will
help this process a little, and wipe dry install new material .
on my civic I had to use a little high temp ''glue'' in one corner
because the cover seemed to be very slightly warped.
yes its mine no you can't beat it

your civic didn't have a rubber gasket for the v/c? :?
