Installing Valve Covers?

I want to do something that will make the engine bay look a little niceer, thinkin valve covers

So is this a simple install of do i have to do complicated things that might cause a "noob" to ruin his engine?

Peace, Neil

Re: Installing Valve Covers?

well actually installing the covers requires just 8 bolts... the more difficult part will be removing them in the first place you will probably have to remove a good portion of the AIR system and probably the alt will have to go too so if you think you can handle it.

you can bend it alittle but or take them off but you also have to take off the diverter... the black box with the hoses on it... i think that has to come off
