does anyone know if this can be accomplished without removing the valve cover?

Put your hand back there (when cool) and see if wet or sticky oil is there. While the valve cover is off clean the baffles as they also get clogged. If you take care of all these it should be fine.
mcnamaag that's one clean renix!

If you need to really clean your valve cover, you should probably pull your baffles off. If you're not caked with sludge and crud, you can probably leave them be (I don't use Pennzoil or QS - worst offenders for sludge! - so when I've got my valve cover off, carburettor cleaner and a toothbrush will usually serve.)
Muad'Dib said:Two questions in response. Can you get away with just using black or copper RTV here, or do you have to replace the gaskets?
Remove the baffles completely? (They are already cleaned and ready to install) Or just cut them back a little bit as previously posted?
Thanks
