Well I started the valve cover job and so far so good. I went ahead and bought a new valve cover but the one that came off was really ok. The only things that I broke and this is truly my vault was the nipple off of the boost cansister. I should have stopped and got a razor and sliced the tubing from around the nipple. I was able to get a replacement from the dealer for $50.

I took the opportunity to upgrade the PCV valve with one from ECS.

At this point I am ready to reinstall the new valve cover. I am confused as to if I should use RTV or not? Any thoughts on this?
