I'm about to perform the 2nd half of a valve cover gasket replacement on my '04 CS, and am still waiting on my cam adjuster seal to show up. It was a huge pain to get the old one out, and I presume it's going to be just as much a chore to get the new one into place. The tech manual suggests pressing it into place from the outside using a "centering tool" after you get the valve cover back on, but I don't have a source for one of those. I read somewhere that a sufficiently large socket should do the trick, but I'll likely have a tough time digging one up. If you've already completed this job, would you recommend installing the new seal while the cover's still accessible on both sides (i.e. off the engine), or is it going to be easier with the valve cover in place on the engine, even without the right tool on hand? Any tricks / gotchas would be appreciated. I almost skipped messing with this seal at all, however there were a bunch of cracks all around it and I am a "completionist" at heart… :) Oh, and don't believe the articles that say the left (driver side) valve cover is the same as removing the right side cover like the tech manual and Pelican article suggests. That damned wiring harness does NOT want to move out of the way unless you monkey with a whole bunch of other stuff at the same time. Ugh!
