Anybody out there changed out the valve cover gasket on a VG33E 3.3? If so, how hard is it to do? I have the Chilton's or Hayne's manual (can't remember which one) but I haven't even looked at the process yet - wanted some feedback here first.

There are 2 valve covers The one on the passenger side is the easy one. Its a matter of unclipping a few wires, screws, and the breather tube, straightforward Its the one under the intake manifold that takes some work. You have to remove the intake manifold (might want to change that intake manifold gasket too if its aged, since its already taken apart) And then theres some more work underneath. Nothing too crazy but just take your time and try to remember where everything goes
