Yep, no DIY.

I will add some advice, look into replacing the bolts - more specifically the "crush grommets" that are seated in the valve cover. These tend to leak after they have been reused, and unfortunately they only come with the bolts. 4.75 per bolt/grommet. This was the source of one of my leaks.

Also, pay close attention to when you reinstall the crank case breather. The metal sleeves that bolt to the valve cover seemed to be a bit loose, which let the breather pull away from the VC and spews oil all over the place. What a stupid design. I used a set of small washers to essentially "lock" the sleeves into the breather.

May not happen on every job, but sure was a pain in the ass on mine.
