just changed my valve cover gaskets and sparkplug wires. if anyone thinking about it and has any questions let me know.
the only hard part was getting the left valve cover off because of the two breather hoses.

sooooo i am guessing
the result was he had new spark plug wires for really no good reason..

nobody says they're something that needs to be done or else!

or is it a regular maintenance issue


i posted this? im a complete arsh. not even funny... and my knowledge was only froom researching DIYs.... i actually might need help on my valve covers... and PLUG wires! i apologize... hope were still cool.... did you see a lot of oil leaking out the sides of your cover before you changed them... or you got to it before they failed?
