If I do it myself - I have a few worries. a) tight space. Im a big guy, can I move around ok in there with the car just on a jack? b) special tools. from...

Re: Exhaust

it LOOKS like that, not the same one though, sorry didn't say that.

Re: Valve cover gasket - spark plug seals

ya I think 40-80 a bit high lol

I have found it for $12 online, says dealer cost $18.

But - does that include the oil seals for the plug holes?

That's what I need to find out.

That might be another $12 or so.

Fine with me, but I need both.
