valve cover painted red, it was a pain!!

[jake26]

i changed also my valve cover gasket and o-rings for the spark plugs, it was a pain getting the old gasket out, i dont think it was ever changed. i used a flat head screwdriver. Took me about 35 min to get the sucker out. The rest was easy.

you know it could of been easier if you had warmed up your engine for a good 10 minutes so the oil can ease the suction. I was expect total bond failure for Pedro's VC but it came off really quick because he's been driving it for a while.

Cliff note: warm engine up before removing VC.
