Does a valve cover gasket need to be hard to do? My friend says yes I say no.

Hello,

Replacing the valve cover gasket does involves removing several parts. It is not terribly difficult and can be done mostly using simple hand tools. You will need a torque wrench unorder to torque down the valve cover bolts properly.

Here is a helpful article:

I have attached the complete replacement procedure for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
