valve cover gasket replacement
I am working on a 97 chevy 6.5. The valve covers are leaking badly. I pulled the intake and loosened the injector lines at the pump and took them loose from the injectors and turned them up in the air. This is on the left side. Removed valve cover, so far so good. Now to the right side, the turbo is right in my way. Does this mean I am taking the turbo and what I believe to be the waste gate off? The left side was leaking badly. The right side is not so bad. I am thinking about leaving the right side alone. My first diesel, so I'm scared . Just wondering if someone can tell me if there is any way to change the right valve cover without taking exhaust turbo and waste gate off.

sorry but your going to want take the exhaust manifold and turbo togetter it make so much easy also spray so lube on the cross over bolts so the don't break
don't put gasket back on they will be leaking with in few months go get some of that good black RTV from GM or some kind sealant that can handly high heat
Also be careful you don't bend the fuel injector lines

bleeding injectors
I just posted a message about changing valve covers and the need to remove turbo waste gate and exhaust. Thanks for the response Crazy. Just thought of something else. Is it necessary to bleed the injectors? If so, how is this done? Once the turbo is reinstalled, it is not possible to get to the injectors on the right side to crack the lines at the injectors for bleeding? Thanks alot, you guys are great.

just make sure you have good batteries it take some cranking to get started once it start you could do 1 or 2 thing
1 just let sit there idle it will bleed it self out
2 you can crack each line open at the injectors
if was me just let idle it don't take long bleed out
