I used to hate working on cars, however I have now found a new love of taking a car apart fixing something and putting it back together and still having it work. So obviously I have little to no experience.

Anyway, there is about a 1/2 inch break in the valve cover gasket, so it needs to be replaced fast. My question is how do you get it off in this make/ model, the Chilton manual is not much help, and there are no obvious bolts to remove?

Any help appreciated.

Hi there,

remove the spark plug leads and undo the large nuts at the 4 spark plug tubes.

I am used to seeing cars with 4 to 6 bolts around the head. Okay, thats easy.

Thank you.
