It looks like my valve cover gaskets are beginning to seap a little oil around the bolt holes. I was just wondering how much of a pain they are to replace and if I should know anything specific before I change them. (specific type/brand of gasket, anything that would make the job easier, etc...)

Also, if I buy an aftermarket plenum/throttlebody, is it worth it to buy the spacer they sell on american muscle or is that just a gimmick?

Thanks in advance

Go with Fel Pro and pray you don't have a strut tower brace.

No need for the spacer, many have one cast into the plenum like my Trickflow does..
