Thx for your video. Can you pls tell how long it takes to replace the Valve Cover gasket? And what about the coils & sparkplug, just need an estimate on how much labor? thx
Me being an amateur and not a professional, I'm sure it took longer than it should have. I'm guessing it took around 8 ish hours? Can't totally remember. The coils and spark plugs are fairly simple on them. They are easy to access. That's my opinion. If you are looking for a labor rate you should really consult a repair facility. I'm just a guy that likes to do things himself if possible and save a couple of dollars here and there if I can. Attempting any repair, car or otherwise, is based on your comfort level and experience. If you are not mechanically inclined or have not done much or any automotive repair work I would take the car to a repair shop. This repair is time consuming and not the easiest thing to do. Lots of things can be broken and the valve covers are not easy to get out. Quite a few items need to removed before removing the covers.
Thank you for showing the pictures of the service manual, you guys are life savers!!
