Figure 9-36. Removing Breather Cover Gasket.
Remove Valve Covers
Three valve cover designs have been used. The earliest
type used a gasket and RTV sealant between the cover
and sealing surface of the cylinder head. The second
type had a black O-Ring installed in a groove on the
underside of the cover and may have metal spacers in
the bolt holes. The latest design uses a yellow or
brown O-Ring, and the bolt hole spacers are molded
in place.
1. Remove the four hex flange screws securing each
valve cover. Note valve cover differences for
proper location in reassembly.
2. The O-Ring type covers should lift off without
prying. If loose spacers are present, save them.
With the gasket type, break the seal by carefully
prying under the edges of the cover.
