22RE valve cover question
How is the metal stamped plate inside the valve cover removed? If it's not supposed to be removed, then why do all gasket sets include a gasket for it? I posted several pics at http://www.ruralinternetservices.com/postpic to show what I'm talking about.

I know the purpose of the plate. Just wondered if anyone actually uses this gasket. I received another top-end turbo gasket set from engnbldr today and even it includes this gasket.

Ok, the pictures are posted at http://www.ruralinternetservices.com/postpic. The gasket is under there, but doesn't seem to be really necessary. Now we know. Ignore it.

Yes, I milled the pads off. Don't you hate paying for something that you don't need and will never use, like this gasket? If I had a choice in the matter, I'd tell the gasket packers to keep that gasket and give me another intake plenum gasket. Seems that's the one I usually need more than the others.

Weird... The valve cover set I got from Napa had that one in there, too. Never even thought about what it was for.
Oh well, now I know... it's for something else I paid for to take up room in my trash.
