Re: IML: Valve cover gaskets and valve guide seals

Thanks, Dave.  I kinda thought so. It looks like there's a lot of stuff that needs to be removed, or at least moved.

Mark,  I believe you need to remove the heater core housing to get the valve cover off as you described.  I know in my 66 LeBaron, I had to remove it when I did my valve cover gaskets 14 years ago.  I think the 413 and the 440 are the same size so it should duplicate on your repairs.

Hi Group,
I plan to replace the valve cover gaskets on my 64 LeBaron this weekend.  I have a small oil leak on one side so I thought I'd replace both gaskets.  I'm also contemplating replacing the valve stem seals while I have the valve covers off.  My question is, do I need to remove the heater core housing in order to remove the right side valve cover and valve springs? I could probably get the valve cover off, but I may not be able to get the spring compressor onto the valve springs on #8 cylinder. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,
Mark Souders
