97 Valve Cover Gasket
I am trying to replace my valve cover gasket but the new one is really a problem getting in the groove. I don't know if its common for a new gasket to be oversized but this is quite a bit
is it normal? any suggestions? its a fel-pro gasket and im pretty sure its the correct part. the vehicle description matches on the box.

go for it man. it will fit fine. they all look like that when they are brandnew. but the heat after awhile shrinks them down abit and then matches the groove much better...and that screw driver tatic mentioned above...really works....

Re: (Tech-Nics)
this is way too loose, i don't know about you but when i am getting a new part, i am expecting it to fit. all my oem gasket fits like a glove.
what happen if you use a screwdriver is that the next time you pull it off the part that you push it will not go back the same way, most of the time you need to reseal it with silcone or new gasket.
bring it back
