Replacing Valve cover gaskets.

I am gonna need to change the valve cover gaskets soon. Just wondering about how difficult of a job this is? I replaced the upper intake manifold gaskets a while back ago so Im sure I can do it just wanna know what I may run into while doing this. Thanks in advance!!

I f you have already pulled the upper intake, then you're halfway there. The only pain in tha a#^ was the wiring harness. Just don't torque them too tight cause you'll warp thyings and they will leak anyway.

If you go with aftermarket gasket ask for the better one. Or you will replace it again next year. Easy to replace gasket.
