Thread: How to change rear valve cover gasket on a 97 Grand Prix?

you need to remove the alternator, the brace bar from the alt to sc, then the map, and eval solenoid and the plug wires. from one side or the other.


if you remove the to dog bone mounts you can use a ratchet strap to pull the engine forward, to give some extra room to work.

get a felpro set, with rubber gromits. clean the top of the head up, and the valve cover insides, ( brake cleaner on a rag) put it back together. just making the v/c bolts nice and tight is good enough too, too tight and the bolts can break. they have a shoulder on them and only go in so far.
