valve cover gasket?
i am replacing my valve cover gaskets but the problem is the old ones are stuck on the valve cover pretty good. i have gotten some of it off with a screw driver but i was wondering if there is a better way to do it?

Re: valve cover gasket?
I would use toluene or MEK either one of these items will soften the gasket where you could remove it. They also make products for gasket removal aids.

Re: valve cover gasket?
get off as much as you can by scrapping then use a brass wire brush in a drill ...
