That spring is from the fuel filter that is in the carburetor. It needs to be in when the fuel filter is changed. It keeps tension on the filter as it seats into the carburetor preventing dirt and contamination entering the inside float area. How it got inside of the valve cover I haven't a clue.
Would it be ok to put the gasket on the bottom let it dry and then put the head on top of the gasket instead of trying to go down with the gasket on the head
waitwaitwaitwait... wwwhhhhhhyyyyyy do those 10mm bolts have crazy long stems sticking out of them???? Now that I got them out, can I cut those stupid things off? Those long stems made it WAY more difficult than it has to be. My 10mm deep is BARELY deep enough to compensate for that craziness.
Some of those hold accessories and clips for wires and vacuum lines. You may want to check 1st and make sure you can cut them and not have any issues without them. I found that it was easier to line them up to the holes.
You definitely can but that would be easier if a different type of adhesive was used. The RTV that I used is very messy and easier when it's not everywhere.
@ChrisThedudenurse SE north carolina. My neighbor drove it home parked it the next day wouldn't start then it's set for a year. So far I siphoned the gas out of the tank now I'm going to start looking for the spark issue.

For the adhesive I thought you were supposed to spread throughout the whole valve cover gasket

Oh okay nice I just got a 1991 Chevy s10 also haha that’s why I’m asking so much thank you man I appreciate the help
I wish I had a 91 for the fuel injection. These cold mornings have made the carburetor upset.
What year is yours I thought we had the same truck hahah
@@kevinstems8822 mine is a 1985. Still has a 2.8 just with a carburetor instead of fuel injection.
What was that last electrical clip
Just that an electrical clip. It’s easy to get back into place.
@@ChrisThedudenurse my truck is missing the other part to it
What torque wrench did you use ?
This is a Pittsburg 1/2 drive torque wrench. Not very fancy but dose the job.
I got 50 bucks and I'll cover your bus fare
Sweet where am I heading

Not too far of a trip. I'm in Central North Carolina. Luckily these engines and trucks are not THAT hard to work on.
@ChrisThedudenurse oh okay, I'm in Sneads Ferry. Yeah they're not too bad, I'm not the best with carburetors though.

You could you’d just have to make sure your holes line up for the bolts, but yes you could do it that way.
