Removal

1. Remove the battery and tray.

2. Remove the RH ignition coils.

3. Remove the crankcase ventilation tube.

4. Disconnect the PCV valve electrical connector.

5. Remove the nut and the RH radio interference capacitor.

6. Disconnect the 4 RH fuel injector electrical connectors.

7. Disconnect the fuel rail pressure and temperature sensor electrical connector.

8. Disconnect the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor electrical connector.

9. Detach the 3 wiring harness retainers from the RH valve cover studs.

10. Detach the wiring harness pin-type retainer from the rear of the intake manifold.

11. Remove the nut and the A/C tube support bracket.

12. Remove the 7 bolts, 3 stud bolts and RH valve cover.
- Remove and discard the gaskets.

- NOTICE: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.

Clean the mating surfaces with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging.

- Inspect the mating surfaces.


Installation

1. Install new gaskets. Make sure the gaskets are correctly seated on the valve cover.





2. NOTE: If the valve cover is not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface prep. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can result in future oil leakage.
Apply a bead of silicone gasket and sealant in 2 places where the engine front cover meets the cylinder head.






3. Install the RH valve cover, the 7 bolts and 3 stud bolts.
