Remove your spark plugs, unplug the coil pack and unbolt the valve cover. Make sure the s\rufaces are clean and free of any gunk. use a gasket scraper.

On install use RTV and torque the bolts to spec. I also recommend using blue locktite to make sure the bolts don't back out from vibration.

What is RTV?

And shouldn't the kit come with the spark plug grommets as well?
