Is this a single valve cover gasket leak?

    "STOCK"..... ;)
    fix it yourself, do both as they are both leaking. Rent all the tools AutoZone will allow you to take, harbor freight everything else except the jack stands. I did my 1994 Q45 infinity in the dead of winter, and that vehicle was a rust bucket from Michigan, had no parts available, 20 year old seized joints, and was designed by a masochistic Satan worshiper that did not want it EVER taken apart.
    You can do this! Just take your time.

    Interesting review, Snap-On seems to have gone down a bit. I have some Snap-On tools, but the majority are Craftsman. I have never had a problem with them. Snap-On are good, but not really worth the money, IMHO. I have one Snap-On ratcheting Screwdriver that is slipping and I need to get it replaced. Back in the day, they used to have a store in St. Louis. I guess I should contact them for a replacement.

    OME and worth every penny.
    I see they use a Proto calibration block.

    Proto makes good handyman tools and gets forgotten.

    In refinery settings where tools get bought by the Millions of dollars each year, Proto is a common brand and I can't say I've ever had a complaint with breaking them, even abused. (hammers to ratchets, etc.)
