Just wanted to get everything since I will be replacing the gasket on timing cover and the valve cover. Replacing upper/lower tensioner also dampers if needed. Wanted also to know to set the timing. GA16DE GXE

I am attaching the process for the timing chain that includes most everything you will need. If there is something more that you are looking for, let us know and we can provide that. Thanks

Only question for the valve cover the new gasket and the spark plug tubing and ends gasket. The new ones are not flexible to place where the old ones went. I'm not sure if the piece is removable, underneath the valve cover lid so the four pieces from the new gasket kit can be replaced. How do I go about replacing those?

I am not sure I understand what you are dealing with. Can you get a couple pictures of what you are referring too?

A lot of times the replacement gaskets are not flexible and are molded plastic. I am just not sure what you mean by it can't go where the other ones were. Let me know and we can go from there. Thanks
