240 DL Valve Cover Removal

Post by Science »

Hi all,

I plan to get another Valve cover 1st and have it machined before i change the current valve cover. My question is:
When Changing the Valve Cover Is it possible to to simply take the bolts off and remove it and switch with the new one or do i actually have to take the cam gear assemby off and all that jazz to do this.

Hope Im not to vague

Just pull it off.
Use a new gasket.

Excellent,


And my buddy said no need for "machining" the valve cover. After which i had to admit I got that idea from the mechanic i visited who said it would be an $800 job partly because it had to be "machined" at a offsite location. I have no idea what that entails.

thx
