Valve cover gasket

[8-Ball]

Hi- was quoted about $400 clams to replace a valve cover gasket. I looked online and it doesnt appear that difficult, but somewhat time consuming. We have an 03 Taurus.. Anyone replaced one on a Taurus? Easy, difficult, forget it... Thx.. 8-Ball

3.0 OHV not so bad. The hardest part will be removing the upper plenum.

3.0 DOHC. a little more challenging.

Thx Air- luckily, we have the regular 3.0-not DOHC. I think I am going to give it a whirl. I know there are a few things to disconnect and four bolts to take out w/an ext. socket, but it can't be that god-awful to try and do myself.

I bet there is a video on you tube. Amazing what you can find there.

Del- Yep, I did check out youtube. Waiting for a day in the 30s so me hands dont freeze to the socket wrench! I think even I can do this one..
