Hey guys I appreciate all the help that I have received. But now I got more issues that I just wanted to get advice on well first for the valve cover gasket for the drivers side looks fairly simple and easy to access but the passenger side is a problem. I know that I'm going to have to take of the plenum but I just wanted to know how many bolt there are and do I have to unhook all the hoses and the throttle cable.

6 bolts. Unhook the throttle, TV and cruise cables and the water lines to the EGR spacer. Unplug the TPS, EGR valve, and IAC. Unhook the rest of the vacuum lines and lift it up. Unhook whatever other line that is still stuck on there. Replace the vacuum hoses while you have it off, most of them are sure to be in terrible condition and replace the coolant hoses to the EGR spacer while you're in there. I think they are 5/16" fuel hose.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Everything really only goes where it should. The only thing you can really mess up is the vacuum lines I guess.Originally posted by V8GrandMarquis View Post
Also, get the rubber valve cover gaskets, not the cheap cork ones.2020 F250 - 7.3 4x4 CCSB STX 3.55's - BAKFlip MX4

I like the steel Ford style gaskets with a rubber perimeter. You'll only do the gaskets one time!**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser

Yeah. The steel with the rubber gasket is the best. Just tighten the bolts down and go with it. Makes it much easier but they are higher pricedOriginally posted by P72Ford View Post
The rubber ones will do fine. Just dont over tighten them. The cork ones suck. You gotta be careful putting them on. If you get one of the bolts too tight it'll smash it out. Plus you need to use gasket sealer as well.

The rubber ones are also re-usable. So you will only need to buy them once.
