i got it off. thanks. now next question. it says in the haynes book that only the 1998 engines dont allow the valve cover bolts to come off. mine loosen, but then pop up and down when trying to take them out, and they dont happen to come out all the way. are they supposed to come out fully?

Is it best to use OEM gasket kits and head bolts? I'm skeptical of the Ford headgaskets and the MANY revisions to attempt to get it right. I'd prefer to go all aftermarket, but don't know who or what exactly.
