#253891 id cover the intake if u got a cone filter and the electrical stuff so u dont ruin them. use whitewall cleaner/ degreaser scrub with a brush if u want and then rinse should do the trick

#254283 if you remove your valve cover your gonna have to geta new gasket. but to take it off just look at the bolt pattern on it and i believe its a 10mm take em off then lightly pry/ wiggle it off just cover your valves up so u dont get any shit in there. if you feel like yo can do it maby try doing a valve adjustment while you have the vc off. its a good maintnence thing to do. cheack i out in the diy section.
