Anyone know of a really good video on how to replace valve cover gasket on a k1500 silverado?

Sorry for the late reply, no not at the moment. I'm just trying to familiarize myself with this truck. So when down the road anything happens like leaking valve cover. I can have the knowledge that I need to fix it.Are you having problems? What type of gasket material?

You can finesse it out of there without removing anything major. Drivers side you may need to remove the vacuum booster pipe on the intake. Bend the brackets on the back of the head out of the way, unclip the wire loom clips on the passenger side of the intake and get those out of the way. Be mindful of any connectors when moving the harness. Don’t want to stress any wires or connections.Mines a 95 5.7 tbi
