94 C4 Corvette LT1 Valve Cover Gasket Replacement

[@1MADSCAT]

Big help man thank you for this detailed video!! Years later and your still helping people out like myself

[@AskaBlackDude]

Great video. This brings a lot of value! I’m leaking around those grommets and couldn’t find a part number to save my life. Now I know. I’ll just do everything like you did! Thanks for this my friend.

[@cheezyrider1111]

Wow you made that look fairly simple my guy, makes me more confident in doing my own! Keep adding videos of you working on this car

[@tinkeringjoeVA]

Thanks and will do

Hey Joe, this video is a lifesaver. I have a 96 LT1 that eats money. Just had a shop replace the intake manifold gaskets. Everything was fine, then oil leaks again. Initially, I wanted to sell the car and stop throwing money at it, but you made me rethink that. Bought the fel-pro gasket from walmart and will do this job the next nice day here in Annapolis, MD. Thank you, Sir!!!

[@tinkeringjoeVA]

[@gkenneyjr]

What did you torque the 4 bolts to? Or how far should they be tightened?

[@tinkeringjoeVA]

I don't remember off the too of my head. I will double check and get back to you

[@watchamovie1000]

Thanks for posting the video, man. Doing the valve cover gaskets on my ‘95 today. 🍻

[@tinkeringjoeVA]

No problem. Its not to hard

[@1MADSCAT]

Having trouble taking out the passenger side, seems like alternator is in the way yet it seems you didn’t have to remove yours ? It’s a 92 corvette lt1

[@tinkeringjoeVA]

Yeah, I didn't have to remove mine. But mine is a 94 with an LT1. If im not mistaken the the 92 had a TPI motor and may be a little different

[@lindyp38]

Thanks. I will try to do that with 93 vet

[@DougC1Challenger]

So just did this job on my 95 and now I’m getting little tiny droplets of oil on top of valve covers. Ugh.. can see a small amount drip of oil at valve cover lip. Maybe I’ll try some sealant. Everything was clean and new gaskets.

[@tinkeringjoeVA]

Do you have it torque down enough?

[@1MADSCAT]

Are your valve covers painted black ?

[@tinkeringjoeVA]

Naw, just black plastic

[@1MADSCAT]

@@tinkeringjoeVA where did you get those ?

[@tinkeringjoeVA]

There stock

[@LIFEMOCKSART666]

Looking To Do This On A 97 LT1 Camaro but I’m afraid the layout is different that I won’t has as easy access like you do here

[@tinkeringjoeVA]

Yeah it's a little different.

[@dougcoleburn1579]

Thank you. So did that fix your leak?

[@tinkeringjoeVA]

Yes I did

[@dougcoleburn1579]

@@tinkeringjoeVA thank you! Do you have part number for gaskets by chance? People saying the Fel pro are too long.VS 50443 R thanks

[@tinkeringjoeVA]

I used the set I picked up at AutoZone. FEL-PRO VS50443R. It seem to fit fine without any issues

[@dougcoleburn1579]

@@tinkeringjoeVA ok thanks I’ll pull cover and see if it matches. Thank you for the video!

[@dr.psprojects9591]

No need for a product like “The Right Stuff” or other sealant?

[@cheezyrider1111]

I’d like an answer to this also

[@CaseTheCorvetteMan]

@@cheezyrider1111 @Dr. P's Projects : Not required at all. These are soft rubber seals, not traditional style cork gaskets. All the seals will seal correctly and there will be no leaks provided the correct torque spec is used during assembly. You will find that in the factory service manual under section 5 if i remember right. Don't just guess, too loose and it'll leak, too tight and you could crack the covers, and crush the seals.

[@CaseTheCorvetteMan]

@Dr P's Projects See other answer, can't seem to get your name up in the response.
