My valve covers are leaking how do I take the intake off my v6 firebird?
I would recommend taking it to a shop if you have to take off a intake. There can be some major problems that can occur like water going into the oil and messing up your engine if you dont seal it right, i would hold responsible the person doing the work.
type into search box how to remove valve covers how to remove valve covers 1995 firebird pretty easy really just like ten bolts not tight and just have to remove what ever is in way of getting them off many times not much to it really only tip is to say clean old gasket off good and do not over tighten when repalcing they just hand tight really
You probably don't need to. Just tighten the screws up a little bit. several years, GM decided to use gorilla snot (silicone) instead of real gasket material. THis was a BIG mistake. I don't know if this is what you have. If this is so, Fel-Pro makes wonderful REAL gaskets. IF you need more info, check with local libraries for the ALLDATA data base. It shows you everything in great detail. Sometimes, oil gets forced through covers due to a clog in the oil pressure relief valve, which is part of your oil pump. You should do a chemicla engine de-sludge to clean this thing out as a preventative to futire woes. THen switch to a good synthetic oil, like Mobil One or Pennzoil Platinum. Your engine will just LOVE you for it!!!
I think you are talking about the valve cover gaskets. This just requires the removal of the bolts holding the sides of the cover down. If it's actually the valve covers it will be the same thing but just make sure you get the new gaskets. Just don't over tighten the bolts or you could end up with a bad seal and they will keep leaking. You might as well just buy a $20 torque wrench if you don't have one.
