Valve Cover Replacement

Dagger_91Beast · Feb 17, 2009

I am getting leaks around the bolts out of my stock valve covers and need to take them off to replace the gasget. Depending upon how they look I will either just clean them up or replace them. I'd love suggestions for good replacements but my real problem is the removal. I've removed valve covers on all of my mustangs without a problem, but there is a lot of JUNK between me and the bolt on my Bronco. Any tricks you guys have used to make this easier?

thanks,

You have to remove the upper intake manifold, one that is off its easy to do. The center bold for the intake is a torx, cant remember 100 percent but I think its a t-45. Combine that with a a long 1/4 in extension and your laughing
