Valve adjustment is cake to do. And O'reilly's has the gaskets for I believe $6-7 bucks each.

Check out this link on how to adjust the valves. B Series Valve Adjustment I'm going to be doing mine shortly. 268k miles on it and no idea if they have ever been adjusted.

You should be able to re-use the gaskets on the valve covers. I just did mine and it made it sound smooth, well if a 12V cummins could ever sound "smooth":humm:
Hit it good with the pressure washer and compressed air before you crack them open. You don't want to let anything fall in with the covers off. |

and mine are leaking the main reason i wana open her up

Mine were leaking pretty bad too, bought a set of blue felpro gaskets from puredieselpower for $35. you could prolly find them cheaper than $6 a piece somewhere else but i was buying other stuff from them anyway. Idk if anyone else does this but i cut a strip of the insulation off the firewall right above the #6 cylinder. Seemed like i might rub up against it and knock some into the engine. Better safe then sorry:c: Took me about 2 hours to do but i was cleaning all the grease buildup off of every cover. Idk what a shop would charge but for $100 for labor and gaskets i would pay them and get it over with ... if not get crackin .010" for intake and .020" exhaust
