gasket trouble

I need to put new gaskets between my intake manifold and the cylinder heads and I need to loop the gaskets around the pushrods. Is it possible to do this without removing the pushrods? By the way I have a 1985 2.8 liter V6

Re: gasket trouble

Evereyone just cuts the gasket as that area does not even need sealed.

Everyone would do it right if adjusting the valve after wasn't such a PITA.
Don't belive it, search for threads, unless you got someone who had done it allot, it can be a real challange for a newb to get what 0 lash means and they all end up here asking for help.
