I just ordered a valve cover gasket and i was wanting to know if there is any certain ways to put it in? I searched but really didnt find anything. I wanted to know if you have to use any type of liquid sealant along with it, or do you just remove the old gasket and put the new one in. Or do you have to put a little oil on the new one before installation. I dont know, just trying to do it right the first time. I dont want to mess it up and still have an oil leak. Thanks.

no special way. just take off the old seal, and place the new one in the groove.

The replacement gasket that i got is rubber and i think the old one is cork. Do i still do the same procedure or do i have to use the liquid sealant around the whole thing?

The factory gasket is rubber. Cork is an aftermarket gasket, so you know someone has removed the valve cover in the past.

Use the procedure from the FSM above above.

make sure you use liquid gasket of some type. I used grey RTF for imports. Permatex makes it. This is good to put around the distributor curve part. As shown on that picture above. Make sure you tighten the screws in the right number order. It will seal better. I used Locktight Blue on the screws for the cover to hold the torque better.
