Message	[ http://z32.wikispaces.com/Valve+Cover ] Because of the way the heads are angled with the engine in, it makes it a total PITA to get 1) get the old RTV cleaned properly off the heads 2) Get the new cover on without getting RTV everywhere 3) Get the bolts back on without them dropping down into never-lands. The intake valve covers are super simple. Might as well get you some rubber intake valve cover gaskets and do them as well while you're in there.
