2013 valve cover gasket replacement

Recommended Posts

Hello! Got my daughter a 2013 limited, after some time a rod came through the block…put in a replacement with less miles on it, but our mechanic didn’t look it over for me…I was out of town…anyway, he put it in, it ran and I picked it up. Heater didn’t work, and now I am seeing oil from the valve cover. So…fixed the heat issue this weekend, new gate hose, thermostat, and temp sensor, and made sure air was out of the system. Now we have heat. Next up is the valve cover gasket. I have searched for a write up on it with no luck. Has anyone attempted it, or should I by a Haynes manual and knock it out? Also, will be looking for a new mechanic for when I am out of town again or can’t get to whatever happens!

 

thanks all!

So…Chilton manuals has an online library…who knew…found it there, but would love to hear from anyone that has done it. Are there any gotchas or anything else to do while I am there? Definitely going to change plugs and probably coil packs also…

I bought the online version, and it sucks.  Wouldn't recommend it.

My valve cover is not wanting to lift up from the block on the left side (solenoid side).  All of the valve cover screws are loose, but this thing isn't budging.  What am I doing wrong?

 

Update: Solenoid seals were the reason the cover wouldn't come off.  The ripped when the valve cover was lifted up using a pry bar.
