    Hi. I am hoping to find enough info to help me tackle the job of replacing the valve cover gaskets on my wife's 2005 gtp.
    I am new at doing things under the hood. But have been successful with wheel bearing assembly replacement so I am getting
    more confidence. There seems to be lots of great info here. Thanks, Kevin

    Its easy just some spots its hard to get to, move anything thats in your way. Take the dog bones off in front if you need more clearence. Check out our how to section. Or the search link. Im sure if there isnt a exact how to on valve cover replace look at push rods replace and valve cover has to be removed to get to that.

    Wow...thanks to you all for the replies. I will take all of your advise and study the valve cover project using the search feature.
    I am sure I can do this with such great help on this forum.
    Thanks again from Floyds Knobs in southern Indiana!
