Default Upper Intake off, have a few questions..

Got the upper yanked off, in like a whole 20 minutes or less, and the vavle covers too.Anyway i have a few questions for you all.
1. Besides getting a Cobra/GT-40 gasket- is there anything special i should get(Its gonna be Fel-pro)?

2. I have the 95 Cobra 1.7s, are there any adjustments for these? or they just tighten down and leave them?(also what's the torque on them-dont know if its different then stock?
Thanks for the answers!

Its was just the upper- replacing vaccum lines that were leaking, also are the valve covers anodized or something- i was thinking of polishing them too

So do you have any answers to the other questions?
Thanks

it always sounded shady to me, but there are people who SWEAR it works fine......

thats good ol' fashioned get'er done inventing right there - probably how they figured out spacers help in the first place, thats how that stuff usually works [&:]
