Re: [doc] Procedure for replacing valve cover gaskets

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just undo all the bolts, and lift off..... they aren't adhesive gaskets 
like head gaskets and will just peel off. Just torque the bolts down 
nice and tight. I tend to use my 1/4" drive for this job as it's not 
really possible to over-torque the bolts with it
