I'll be changing the valve cover gaskets on my '74 tomorrow. Are there any specific things I should look out for or be aware of before I get to work on it?
I figure its a simple job of just warming up oil, lifting the car up, draining the oil, remove the valve covers and old gaskets, install new gaskets, seal the engine back up with new nuts and washers and such, and add oil? The filter is new enough so I hadn't intended on changing it out.
Also, what are the torque specs for the valve covers, top and bottom?
Thanks again!
