Some advice on parts and tools needed for a valve cover seal replacement

[dannyp]

I used the foaming engine degreaser then dawn with a red 3m scrub pad. I used u-pol acid etching primer and it stuck well.

So i got this all buttoned up right and tight... (hopefully) blue painted block cover seems to looks cool, but i probably didn't get it decreased enough to hold the paint for long. Painted my ems intake tube to match and to stop the rust i could see starting at the horrible weld job they did on it. Typical ems stainless. Replaced all the vac lines except for two on the top that i will replace when another 5 feet of silicon tube comes. The original 5 feet was off by 2 feet. so i would recommend 7 feet total. I was going to install new cooling lines but i didn't because I could not find where the rear tube went to. I'll probably find it when i do the phh and the finish that job. I cleaned the throttle Body good before replacing it as it was black behind the plenum where the pcv valve line enters back into it. All in all only took this one banana guy about 4 days of 5 hr shifts to Finish all this. Most of the time was spent trying to figure s*** out and pre plan. Doing this i ended up taking the whole hood off so i could fit into the space cleared out by the radiator. Thanks for the help from some of my fellow mudder who came to the rescue with ideas and tips. Back to lurking

So in the end what size oil line , gas line and vacuum line did you have to buy, and what lengths? You have inspired me to get off my can and take care of this. Thanks
