So, I'm going to change out a leaking valve cover gasket. Ordered a FelPro.

Anything special I need to know? I'm going to take photos of the vacuum lines, etc. I searched through the forums and saw 7ft lbs, as well as 10ft lbs of torque on the bolts. Which is best?

Any maintenance that I should do while the cover is off? Odo broke at 150k, however based upon the condition of the vehicle, I really don't think there are that many miles on it.

Thanks!
