I was wondering if I remove my valve cover will I damage the gasket taht is there? I just dont want to damage it since its a s14 notch top and I would have to get the gasket ordered from Japan. Any tips on doing this carefull and getting it back in without probs? Thanks. ---

Its a rubber gasket, you should have no problems. Just be sure the gasket is seated in its groove before re-installing. Scott ---
