She's good like that, two weeks ago I bought a new fuel filter and plugs to put in my truck(03 Silverado), I went in the house to get my grungy roll around on the floor pants on, and when I came out the garage was open, hood up, and she was already underneeth the truck pulling the old fuel filter off. She even skipped watching her NASCAR race to do that. ANd I have never seen her miss a race. I guess what I am trying to say is thank all of you for bringing my family together by answering my overly basic question.

You can also make a good valve cover gasket with the 1/32 gasket material they sell at Pep Boys. You need an X-acto knife and some patience, but they work well. Use the valve cover itself to draw the outside edge outline. Use the old gasket to draw the inner edge and holes.
