I'm definitely a little confused, but hey, that's what being a rookie and learning about my FE is all about I guess.

A couple of other questions/clarifications:

-So I can use the method that Patrick described for lash adjustment, right?

-Any tricks for breaking the valve covers loose? I was going to first tap them a bit with a rubber mallet and then if i couldn't get them loose, to pry from the intake manifold side as gently as I can.

-When I reinstall with new gaskets, what's the recommended silicone sealer?

I appreciate the time and advice.
