- In this how to video we take you through the steps of removing your valve cover and replacing the gasket on a 2006 Silverado. The same steps apply to the 4.8, 5.3, and 6.0 LS motors, 99 to 06 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra and the 07 classic Silverado. Parts I used posted below. I mistakenly called it a 327 its actually a 323 sorry for the confusion.

Way easier than I thought but then again its a Chevy Silverado. One of the most easiest and reliable Trucks to work on. Thanks guys well done.
Your welcome!
Good video, this will help me with my leaking valve covers
Glad it helped
Guy doing the work has some serious mechanic forearms!
You wanna touch them?
Wow I wasn’t gonna do mine cause I have no idea what to do/don’t have much experience working on vehicles and I can’t afford to fuck anything up, but it looks pretty easy now. Great video!
Thanks did a lot of research to make sure we didn't have any issues.
Veey helpful thanks
Welcome!
Great video! Thank you! Ever thought of taking off oil extension fill tube and just using the oil cap? I know some have had issues with tube leaking
I'm not sure if that can be done but that's definitely not a bad idea, ill keep that in mind for the future
@@joeysautodiy7740 I actually saw on another TH-cam video where someone said that cap fit perfectly in hole where extension tube goes but not sure but just thought might be an option if someone had problems with tube
On my truck I did just that. The tube was leaking and didn't feel like spending 40 at the parts store for a new one. Cap screws right in
@@jimmyinglish2669 my tube is wobbly and also leaks, i might do that...
@@joeysautodiy7740 ive been doing that for over a year with no probs
Thanks for the great video. I thought my rear main seal was the culprit but it is the valve covers. Will do this weekend. Thanks
Your welcome!
@Luis Serrano I've had to do the valve covers, and the oil pan gasket to fix all the leaks. Oh and I replaced the drain plug as well, and the oil cooler line plate seal.
Great video, any tips on how to clean an 4.8 L motor
I would look at an engine cleaner you can get it online or from a local auto parts store. Make sure you read the directions.
Can a bad/leaking valve cover gasket cause a cylinder 5 misfire?
It is possible the oil is leaking into the spark plug boot and could cause a misfire easy enough to check to.
Will this work on a 2000 GMC Yukon with the 5.3 ?
The process should be similar if not the same
If my valve cover gaskets are leaking and I do this will they stop leaking ??
Mine stopped leaking after this, its definitely worth doing if you think they are leaking.
What’s the part number for 2004 Silverado1500 4.8L. I will replace mine.
I posted a amazon link in the description hope this helps.
How much you torque the valve covers to?
8 inch pounds is the factory torque spec
Which side is the most difficult to replace? Driver side or passenger side?
The driver's side is a bit more difficult than the passenger side, hope this helps!
This won’t help with smoke? My 2001 Chevy smokes sometimes on a startup but sometimes it doesn’t.
I would look to see if the channels in your valve covers are gunked up I had this issue and ended up replacing the valve covers for that very reason, I don't have a video on it but I have a write up ill post a link to.

hmm, I always thought it was a 325, anyhow it's a 5.3 (5300). The coil packs/Bracket , he should have just taken that off first as a unit...as we see he removed it for reinstallation of cover! Also, you should have got the Felpro kit with the gaskets for the cover bolts and replaced them as well...as old as it is (and you did have oil leaks!) why would you reuse those old bolt gaskets?? Good vid gentlemen!
325 is actually correct I misspoke in the video. I bought a kit and was under the impression that the cover bolt gaskets were included, they were not that's a mistake on my part.
@@joeysautodiy7740 Yeah I just did mine. That Gasket kit is Fel Pro 50504 R-1 (You got 50504 I believe) with all gaskets. I got a 99 Silverado Z71, and the reason I said that is because when I went to replace the rubber bolt grommets the old ones looked good but they were not...stuck a screw driver in there to work it off and one they all just broke into pieces. I also replaced both PVC and grommet (Yes I still use OE covers and unlike videos I've seen, the left on mine has 3 BIG drain holes in baffle underneath, and someone said these PVC's are not suppose to rattle, mine was OE and it sure did rattle so I don't know what in heck they were talking abou lol they said not to replace them with a parts store one because of that lol). I cleaned mine up real good and painted Caliper red...pretty !
Do i need to drain anything?
Nope you don't need to drain anything.
Thank you
@@bighoss234 Your welcome
But the driver side though!!!
The driver replaced just wasn't on video.
