[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 429865, member: 19498"] Patients and allow time to get things finished correctly. RE the valve cover;On my 91 4cyl, pull it, clean it up including pulling off the baffle plate on the crank system to decarbon it and also make sure you clear the brass orifice for the breather. Trying to keep the new gasket in place can be a PITA so I lay it bottom up, clean the mating surface with brake clean. Apply a thin and I say THIN, film of RTV, lay the new gasket on and put the bolts thru the holes to keep them aligned and let it sit overnight to dry in place. makes like much easier when setting it back on the head and keeping the gasket where it needs to be. Far as the RM, well... The Girdle? Geez...on a stock 4 banger, I wouldn't bother myself. Thats just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
