Well, since 1:00 today, ive been taking off my valve cover to replace the gasket because it was leaking . Not too bad right? well, to get the valve cover off, you have to take the egr off. This is when it all went haywire.
The egr hose cracked when trying to undo the tube from the exhaust manifold and i had to cut it off.then i had to drop the exhaust manifold to be able to reach the egr tube on the header. This has been my biggest problem. How in the world do I get the header out so i can take off and replace the egr?
I also ask you, Is this really necesary to go through all this? Just for a simple valve cover gasket?
Im about to go out of my mind and just start throwin crap.
