I recently purchased a 2003 LS knowing that it would need work, so I'm starting out by trying to do as much of it that I can myself. I was replacing the spark plugs and I noticed that a few of the wells had a significant amount of oil built up in it. I imagine I'll have to change my valve cover gasket to stop the leak, but I'm trying to find out the best way to remove the oil in the meantime.
Also, on a completely unrelated note...I'm changing the EGR valve and I'm having trouble getting the new one on. I'm trying to get the big bolt tightened a bit before I worry about lining up the smaller ones, but the big bolt won't "grab" the egr valve. I can spin it and spin it, but it won't tighten at all. does anyone know any tips or tricks?
