" Hi my name is Nate McCullough on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this clip we are going to talk about the last step involved in changing your valve cover gasket. Anytime you open the engine, you allow contaminants to enter, be it seen or not. What you are going to want to do is run the engine for a brief period of time, 30 seconds or so. What that will do is pump the oil up from the oil pan, and it would reach all the components inside the engine; and when the oil drains back down when you shut the engine off, it will take any of the particulate or airborne debris that is engine down the oil pan. The last thing that you want to do after servicing, in this case our valve cover gasket, is to preform an oil change. Change the oil out, remove the filter, reinstall your new filter, hook the plug in and fill it up. If your engine happens to be particularly leaky, if you suspect that you have more trouble then just your valve cover gasket, they have available at your local part store if you ask at the counter for it: an oil dye. What that will do is it comes in a small bottle about so big. You would take and add that right in with your own during that fresh oil change and run the motor. Run it for approximately a 100 miles, just doing your daily driving. What that dye would do is indicate exactly where any additional leaks that you may have are coming from. It is a bright green color and you can't mistake it."

on 4/8/2009 Nate McCullough seems to be a very decent mechanic.
However A VALVE COVER IS NOT A HEAD GASKET ---- EXPERT VILLAGE PLEASE CHANGE ALL THE VIDEOS IN THIS SERIES - REPLACE HEAD GASKET WITH THE
WORDS--- VALVE COVER GASKET!

on 8/2/2008 I don't think I have a blown headgasket, I think I have a torn VALVE COVER GASKET... the head gasket is in the bottom of the engine, this is a valve cover gasket.... please either change the name or change it to the correct content :) - either way, Good job Nate - also to the guy who has all those problems with your car, I'd get rid of it as soon as possible, it doesn't happen to be a Daewoo does it? I've never heard of a car falling apart that badly at 44 thousand other than that model!
