Default Valve Cover Gasket #1 done!

Had the "drip" & decided to tackle the valve cover gaskets. I just finished the driver's side, and it took about 1 1/2 hours . I did not remove anything but the rear wheel. Not a complex job, but a major PITA getting those last 2 bolts out. I'll be tackling the passenger's side on Friday or Saturday.

Good to know this can be done without major removals... Good luck with the other side!!!

I did the passenger side last year. I bought new bolts to replace the hex ones. I also took my muffler off to reduce the aggravation factor. I could be wrong but I think the passenger side is easier than the driver. (I thought I remember hearing that).

I did my passenger side lower gasket last week. Once I removed the heat exchanger, it was a piece of cake. I found removing the heat exchanger was easy as well.
