Hi Folks.
Hope to have go replacing my Rocker cover Gasket on my 1988 V8
3.5. Is there anything I need to be wary of before starting.

Just make sure the new one actually ends up where it should be - they
can be a bit fiddly to get right.

Bit of gasket sealer both sides of the cork gasket and do not over tighten
the bolts just nip them up, works for me
