So, I have my valve covers off and am changing the gaskets tomorrow (I have used brake cleaner to clean the surfaces and cleaned the covers, they were a MESS). I searched for any information on pointers and did not find much, but just wanted to see if there is anything I should watch out for while changing these gaskets? For example, should I use any RTV on the gaskets? Should I rub some oil on the gaskets prior to install? Or likewise.

As always, anyones help is appreciated.

Nothing special to do, just make sure everything is clean. Replace the rubber grommets and torque to the correct amount, no more then that.

No RTV necessary and it'* a pretty simple procedure. Just clean everything up and make sure the gasket seats correctly, then torque appropriately.

Yup, nice and easy. I did the one in complete darkness with a cell phone light. Just change the grommets and you're golden.
