jjonez Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hi guys, I was wondering if there was anything else worth replacing when I do this job. I did the spark plugs recently (amazingly simple with the TBI setup) but otherwise I'm not aware of anything that would be good to replace. Also, do I need to use RTV anywhere on the valve covers? Or just clean off the old gasket and install the new? Thanks for your advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Nguyen Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Clean mating surface and torque. Nothing special. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF600 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 No need to use rtv. Make sure you replace the bolt grommets also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjonez Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 Yup got those with the Fel-pro kit. For some reason they almost tripled the cost of just the gaskets though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamzan Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I have never found a need to replace those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF600 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 When I replaced mine, they were all flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjonez Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 I replaced the few that came out easy. Most were too difficult to remove from the metal cups so I just left them. I'll just replace them if they start to leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citron Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 The ones I bought came with new metal cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
