How to replace valve cover gaskets, replace gaskets, create gaskets – mr2 tutorial

This is a picturelog of me changing my valve cover gasket. It was not an easy task as it’s the first time I open an engine. But as you see, it’s not impossible.

First of all, a special thanks to my cousin who helped me out for two days.  My dad, who made me stay calm. My girlfriend, for standing out my humour the whole weekend.
And also to morris52, a member of mr2club.be, who gave me the right instructions at the right time.

Also, a big thumbs up for the rest of the mr2club.be community for answering my annoying questions :)

This article covers a couple of things I came across while changing my gasket:

- Dissasembling and reassembling all the parts in the correct order.
- Cleaning the parts. A lot of cleaning and patience is required for this job :)
- Applying correctly the new gaskets
- Making gaskets yourself
- …

Normally, I don’t have to point out every bolt and screw I came across as the pictures should be clear.
If there are any questions, just ask.
