    Valve cover gaskets

    Finally found small leak on driverside valve cover on gasket off one of the bolts. have been putting off doing intake and valve gaskets but want to atleast get this taken care of before long trip this weekend up to wisconsin for the tough mudder. Any helpful tips I may need to know with removal and instalation of valve covers? Time frame it will probably take? And last but not least torque for bolts when done don't want same problem to arise. Thanks in advance. Used to working on small blocks and big mopars. Finding there's always one little catch with taking apart something that's usually so simple. Also is rtv needed where seal butts up into timing covers? Can't be worse than pulling covers of early 80's vette with the 600 yards of vacuum tubing. Lol
