Title: replacing valve cover gaskets Post by: asnstyle22 on November 08, 2009, 02:20:51 PM anyone know how to remove the gasket inside the 4 holes of the valve cover? i got extra valve cover to paint but i cant get those 4 gaskets out. i tried to do 1 of them by force and got most of it off but there are still bits stuck inside the small groove and i think i need to get it all out before i can place it with a new one or it will probably leak. any suggestions how to remove that little bit and how to remove the other 3? thanks!!
