Doing both right?? Upper and lower??

They are not too bad, just take your time and make sure when you are cleaning off the old gasket material you put some paper towels down over the lifter/cam so you do not get any junk down there.

It would also be a good idea to use a shop vac (if you have one) while you scrape to keep debris from falling to a minimum. Place it right next to the scraper as you scrape to suck it up before it falls.

It might take you the better part of the day to do it to...so, enjoy.

Get the good gaskets! Felpro makes an updated gasket set with a metal carrier (frame) around the overmolded rubber sealing sections.

Search for 'D-tips.com' using the search feature here and you'll find a link to a very well written article plus discussions on this very topic.
