Are you talking about the vent covers on top of the valve gaskets ?

You could do it yourself if you think you are capable.
See how it is done here by the late MikeR.

Make maxcichon an offer on those lovely black crinkle finish covers and you won't have to do it !

( you can pick them up at the Dragon, he and I might even install them for you )

I can almost guarantee you that it would be less that what a stealership would charge you to fix the leaks, and it wouldn't even be half as good a job as Max does.
If I was selling them, it would be $200 along with your old covers, $250 without.

Josh, PM sent.

And don't listen to these guys-it's a horrible job. I've lost 3 eyes and 12 fingers doing it!

I type with my ears and tongue...quite the mess!

Well, it will have to be Oct 1 through Oct 3 ( in a week and a half ).
Both Max and I will be there arriving Thursday around 1 or 2 PM.
You can't miss us : almost identical red roadsters with 'Bama tags.
( I'll be the handsome one, Max will be the one you don't want to meet in a dark alley )
