Valve cover gasket replacement question.



yes, in the middle of the tentioner is a bolt, take it off, the tentioner will come off, then unbolt the wires on the icm, then take the rest of the bolts out on the side as well as the dog bone bolts.

leave the coils and icm on the bracket.
 
yes, the whole part that the coils sit on, and the upper strut mount bolts in, aka dog bone. it bolts to the side of the head.

not the bolt on the pulley, but in the middle of the body of the tentioner, its set inside a bit.
 
im having trouble with this damn bolt on the motor mount.. the one closest to the fuel injector.. how did you gey yours out
this one?

your sc right? if so in this pic you see the tentioner, not the pulley but where you see the hole, theres a nut inside. the stud below it also has a nut on it, and theres another with a ground wire on it that you can get to with the tentioner taken off.

yup i just looked at some pics, come back and everyone else put in pics lol

you got a different mount then i do for sure.

you guys are kinda lucky, you dont even need to pull the coil bracket off. just odd bolt placement .....ive been schooled a bit lol
 


you MIGHT be able to get a ratcheting wrench on it...depending on how thick the wrench head is...(mine is too big to clear the injector:(
 
if you don't pull the injectors it will take you about 10min to get that bolt in because how have to keep re-positioning the wrench.
 


welp i finished it!.. easier to put back then to take off.. weird lol but sumbody had that VC off before and didnt tighten it all the way down.. thank god it never burst into flames.. pics coming
