94-97 you have to basically hammer them out with a small hammer and screwdriver , 90-93, you could just pull them off with your hand or at times just fell off..

And like advised ,, be careful when you re-install the valve cover do not over tighten the acorn nuts ..

Ronracer why would you buy the whole top end gasket set??? you might never need to use that ,, could be a waste of money versus saving money ..
1st. i bought it and did a complete rebuild.(see my C27 tear down rebuild thread)
2nd.if one gasket goes its probably time to change some more. and if not it wouldnt hurt to have extra gaskets around for when something does break
3rd. i suggest anyone approaching 200xxx do a complete overhaul. it does wonders for performance and the life of you engine!
