I've got oil in my spark plug socktets on the passenger side and figure that I have to replace the valve-cover gasket and spark plug seals. I'm pretty handy but have never taken this on on this car. Is it as simple as it seems? Any gotcha's?

thanks,

I read the steps in the book and it sounds pretty simple.

the only trick I can think to watch out for, there may be one or two screws on the timing belt cover that goes into the valve cover.

come back if you have any problems
