Yeah, yeah,yeah.
You know me. Tightening bolts ain't gonna be enough. I'll pull the cover and do a "spit shine" on it and clean up any mess that's migrated down onto the head.
Might even be a good time to paint the valve cover.
Wait. I'll just do it all when I replace the actuator solenoids.

FMG with all that oil leaking all over the place I think you should get a lift and drop everything out the bottom so you can get it really clean.

Best quote of the thread! Don is still accurate, but memorable... Y'all are lucky.
