I'm getting ready to replace the valve cover gaskets on my new 98 Discovery with a 4.0. Other than the valve cover gaskets are there any other parts I will need for the job? I see the intake will probably need to come off.
Also looking for any advise on anything else to look for when I have it apart. I just picked this beauty up.

 

Intake doesn't need to come off. But be aware that passenger side can be a b****. The gasket fell down in back and got hung up on the rocker. I think I made up new curse words on that one

 

it may be easier for you to remove the intake plenum ( which will allow you to clean it better anyway ) and beware of the little metal bushings that go in the bolt holes on the new gaskets......they like to fall out of the gasket as you are positioning everything....and god help you if it falls inside the motor.........

thanks for the tip. Is there's gasket on the plenum?

 

No, no gasket between the plenum and trumpets, they're machined surfaces. Can use a liquid sealant like Hi-Tack, won't hurt anything just keep it thin.

 

All good tips, thanks again. Sunday is the day, let's see if it will make it to work on Monday
