Changing the valve cover gasket on a 03'.

[allhale09]

Is it really a pain in the a** or is it not to bad?I need to do it because oils leaking into where my plugs are and killing my plugs and gas mileage.I have some expierence changing valve cover gaskets in DOHC motors but I know all motors are different..I could afford to pay a dealer or mechanic to do it but i'd rather do it because I like to work on my own stuff and I just hate throwing away all that money paying someone to fix it.

Piece of cake. Use this Spark Plug Guide It's for an '01 PT so it might be a little different than a '03. It was for my wife's '04 PT (I think you don't have to worry about the EGR if I remember). Still, pretty easy.

I figured it wasn't to bad.It looked like most of the work was just taking stuff off that was in the way.Damn new cars and all their sensors.lol My 85' Chevy C10 has a PCV valve and thats it.Thats how I like it.lol
