    Yeah. I think I have a minor leak. How long does the job take? It will be my first go at something like that.

    Hour tops on a cool clean motor. Pull intake, pull spark plug wires. about 10 small bolts, new gasket kit and assemble in reverse order. Might as well change your spark plug while you are at it if they are coming up.

    If you can handle general automotive maintenance, it's pretty easy. Wrench, pliers and screw driver.

    Removing a valve cover on just about any Jap 4 cylinder is about as easy as it gets. Aside from what @MadTaco461 posted, I would also suggest a rubber mallet. Sometimes they need a little involuntary cooperation.

    Good to know. I was quoted $250 for the job including spark plugs. But I want to do it myself. Sometimes basic stuff like tire rotations and oil changes aren’t worth it because I have to get rid of the hazardous waste. I’m starting to get more into work on the the truck. I installed my whole suspension myself. Lots of learning in there. But I’ve always been scared of engine work.

    Also what plugs do you guys recommend? NGK?

    Good on you for learning!

    Yes, NGK.

    Also it really helps to take pictures as you're taking things apart. It'll be easier to reference when putting it back together. I've never done the job you're looking to do, but sometimes motor parts will have very similar bolts that are different lengths. Keep an eye out for that as you're pulling stuff apart.
