[Tigers] Valve Cover Removal

[Ron Fraser]

Also, a good trick with Small block Ford valve cover gaskets is not to
tighten up the cover bolts too much. Barely finger tight and a bit is
enough. The steel covers distort easily and rise up almost out of contact
between the bolts. The alloy ones crack very easily. It's amazing how well
they seal with very little pressure.

Good luck with this Brad, and happy knuckle whacking!

The torque value I have for the valve cover bolts is 3 - 5 ft lbs - retorque
after the gasket has time to compress
