      Changing valve gasket with coil pack configuration?

      I have a 2009 Chevy Aveo5. I believe the valve gasket needs replacing. I watched all the videos and ordered the gasket and was ready to go, only to discover that I have the coil pack type for the plugs. Every video I can find just has like two hoses on top of the cover and then you get into taking the bolts out, but not this. Plus, now I'm not sure I got the right gasket, if it's configured this way.

      I can get the coil pack out fine, but there are so many wires and wire cases on the cover, I don't know where to go from there to get to the gasket.

      Does this make sense or am I going about it the wrong way?

      its a little more difficult for the ecotec cars. but it is still the same idea. just set overthink off to the side in the order you take it off and you will be fine. IIRC, you do not need to pull the timing cover or anything extraordinary like that to do this. So even though it looks intimidating, it is not. Most of the stuff just pushes to the side and out of the way.
