How To: Intake gaskets and Valve Cover gasket replacements 4.0 V6

[TTSaleen]

Over the Labor Day weekend I decided to tackle this project.
Have had the dreaded valve cover leaks for a while now and noticed it while having the transmission rebuilt.
So I pulled the intake and while it was off, went ahead and popped new gaskets onto it.
I then pulled the valve covers off and put new gaskets on them (I used Fel-pro gaskets for intake and valve covers).
The passenger side was a bear but the driver side was easy.
I put a video together on it to help anyone that might be considering doing this.
The only real issue I had was my EGR tube at the header/manifold would not come loose. Instead of damaging the nut, I simply bent the EGR tube out of the way.

Anyway, hope you enjoy.

I feel you on the EGR. When I had to do mine I hosed it down with oil and let it sit overnight and that nut still didn't want to turn - very awkward to get at.

Please keep making these videos, they're great and help a lot!
