Q: What should be learned about before installing the right valve rocker arm cover?
A:
All gasket surfaces should be free of oil or other foreign material during assembly. You must not reuse the valve rocker arm cover gasket. The valve rocker arm cover bolt grommets may be reused. And if the oil fill tube has been removed from the rocker arm cover, you shall install a new fill tube during assembly.
