Valve Cover Gasket

Broncoman12 · May 20, 2009

Hey all:

I am lookin to pick up a 91 EB w/ a 351 or about 800 bucks, but it needs a new U joint as well as valve cover gaskets. How difficult and costly are each of those jobs?

Secondly, unrelated, is blowby detrimental to the engine? Thanks. Appreciate your help.

the difficulty of the valve cover gaskets is not that hard, just remove everything around them before taking the covers off and keep track of what youre doing. when installing new gaskets, make sure the surface is clean. I purchased a gasket scraper from the local part store, works great. as far as the driveshaft, i just took it to someone thats done before to make sure it was done right. hopes this helps a little.

Valve covers are easy as Bronc76 said...

"U" joints are also easy unless you need to replace the ones in the TTB.

Unbolt the drive shaft at the "U" joint pull one of the caps then unbolt the joint and replace... They may be "pressed" in but that still isn't that hard to replace.
