Default 2.5l Valve cover gasket & boots replacement

99 2.5l(Mitsubishi) Chrysler Sebring
minor leak that in oiling my alternator causing brush failure

Looking for any tips before I dive in. I have the new set and copper sealant(if needed?)

What should I expect?
what are the torque #'s?
What else should be done @ the same time

Also asking for the sending unit location
Thankyou.

Label all the wires and hoses so you have no problem putting them back where they belong.
Plan on replacing the spark plug tubes at the same time. You'll need the sealer for the bottom ends of the spark plug tubes.
Valve cover bolts should be tightened to 30 in-lbs (not foot-lbs) in three increments. Tighten them in a criss-cross pattern starting in the middle and working outwards.

Don't know which sending unit you're referring to, but try going to chryslerparts.net and looking up your engine there. They have parts diagrams that might show where it is.

"2.5L engines, the oil pressure sending unit switch is located on the engine block, below the front exhaust manifold on the radiator side."

Don't know. Crawl under and have a look. Post up your findings.
