Sorry I'm a little uninformed, but why would we have to do the valve covers? (I'm all new to this as you can see).

becus the spark plug seals WILL leak eventually soon. and the only way to replace is to replace the valve covers becus theyre one piece. u could go the modified cover route but they take forever and hard to get in touch with. u should search on here regarding the covers. btw did u notice any oil in the sparkplug chambers?

Aww son of a B****, we should've changed those out while we had the car apart.

Yea there was oil around 3 of my plugs, my buddy's car had no oil around any of his. I mean I did read through the spark plug change DIY and they said it was okay for oil to be around the spark plugs.

What would be the worst case scenario of having oil around your spark plugs??

Dammit.... well anyway thanks for the heads up, I really appreciate it.

That will probably be a secondary job for when we install the plenum spacer.

(It would make sense to do it with the plenum spacer right??)

Been a LONG time coming- glad to finally pull the trigger.
