Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Im needing to remove one of my valve covers in order to get some machining for a modification I'm getting done. Are there any tips to removing bank 4-6 cover. I assume one would need to remove as much exhaust hardware brackets etc. Do I need any special tools or take precaution to keep cam shafts from moving or is that necessary? Also do I need to darin the oil? And re-sealing the cover, I guess are there gaskets or just sealant like locktite 5900 like the oil pan? D_Man
