When you put valve covers back on might wanna look up torque specs. I think its like 7ft lbs. you can easily over tighten and pinch your new gasket

A tip Travis gave me for not installing the bolts too tight. Use a nutdriver. Just go "snug" with the nutdriver. Or use s torque wrench. If they are too tight, it will distort that sheet metal rocker cover and leak.

It a Garrett turbo factory from what I can tell. Just want to know if I can pull the canister and lines going to the condenser with no issue, haven't messed with much a/c.



If you have already pulled the compressor off, yes just take the lines and the accumulator can out. If the compressor is still hooked up, look around the canister, you should see a tire valve looking thing with a plastic cap on it. Take the cap off and poke the center of the tire valve. If it squirts at you, the system is still under pressure and you should take it somewhere and get it drained.

I'll check that for pressure pretty sure it's dead. I'm putting on those valve covers right after the new clutch is in. At least I'll have some of that junk out of my way.
