It smells bad and the fumes aren't good to breath in. Either do it outside or in your garage with the door open.

when u guys install the valve cover back on, do you use any kind of sealant?

I saw my mechanic use some black sealant where the valve cover makes contact, but I dont know what it is.

thanx
