Tried to change the valve cover gasket

[nvmike24]

Oh joy, what fun. Took me 2 hrs to pry off the cover after gaining access. I though the cover would break at some point. As my luck was in the crapper the "Good Deal" I got on gaskets on fleaBay finished my day. Seems the gaskets were not Genuine Yamaha. So much for a good deal. Ordered 2 from Randy, lesson learned, I will use RPM for all my future needs.

Yes, and listen to Randy when he tells you not to use Yamahabond on both sides of the valve cover gasket.....
