does anyone know how to change those seals?? i have to repaint my valve cover and the seals are in pretty bad condition...

when i took mine out, i kinda just pulled them w/ a needle nose, til i eventually ripped all the rubber off, then the metal ring. the metal is what keeps it in there so hard. just rip it out, mine went in pretty easy after that

when you put the valve cover on, use a small flathead to move those seals around the spark plug tubes to get a really good seal, you'll see what i mean when you put it on

that's what I had to do too. I think I remember doing it from the underside of the valve cover.

Flip valve cover over, proceed to pull. About 3 seconds each

yea, i did do it from under the cover. when i put the valve cover on, the seals were kinda above the tubes, so i had to use a small flathead to push them around the tubes for a good seal, the way they are supposed to be
