Got gaskets replaced. Took 4hrs, I also put new screaming eagle plugs n wires. Had no issues just took time n patience. used no rtv gasket maker after seeing the quality of the new gasket was better than the paper one. Thanks to the forurm and my Old man for help. What a relief!

Rear one is leaking as well, picking up gaskets tomorrow. Is there enough clearence for the torque wrench? I seen online someone using an adapter on the end of a torque wrench whats is that adapter called. It looks like a wrench.

The bolts are in a confined space, but it's certainly possible. Take your time and repeat the process from the front. Those adapters (that look like a wrench) can also change the torque spec. If you've done the front, the rear should be easy enough.

Got my rear rocker gaskets done today. Tight fit had to remove push rods. Had to torque 2 of the bolts by hand not bad. Took less than 2hrs this time.
