Back in the day when I drove a 2.8L V6 Ford Capri, it was easy to pull the valve covers to adjust the valve clearances and replace the gaskets.
On my 1992 4.0 OHV Ranger however, things don't seem so easy. The A/C plumbing looks like a problem for the left side cover and the right side cover is hard to see let alone remove.
With over 250K miles on the clock, the valve cover gaskets are leaking badly and need replacing. Wondering if there are any recommended steps on the minimum amount of stuff I need to remove in order to get the covers off and replace the gaskets?
The motor doesn't burn any oil so I'm assuming the valve guides are still OK.
Thanks
