My valve cover is leaking on my 98 2.5L so I want to change the gasket. It looks fairly easy. But I'm sure the wiring harness that wraps around the back and RH side of the valve cover to the coils is going to be a pain to move out of the way. Is there anything else that is in the way that needs to be removed to make removal and installation easy?

 

You need to remove the throttle body with the EGR valve attached and the upper intake manifold. Removing the EGR tube will be the hardest part. The wiring and coolant tube cab be pushed out of the way.

Good luck.
