    Passenger side valve cover gasket access... Fail.

    Replacing the leaking driver's side valve cover gasket went so well yesterday, I felt confident and attempted the passenger side... After removing all of the peripheral crap, I couldn't break-free the front coolant pipe mount bolt---felt like it was gonna strip. AND, have NO idea how to get a tool on the rearward coolant mount bolt... Any insight? Luckily, the PS valve cover is just very barely weeping.

    My indy tech heated up a tool and put some bends into it to reach the bolt. If I recall correctly, he made a paper template and then bent the tool to match. I don't have a pic.

    Wish I could help Greg. Remind me that I should check mine to make sure it's still dry. Good luck.

    Nice addition to your sig Randy!
