Half done. The SC makes it a lot less fun…

But, VANOS covers replaced, new spark plugs, fresh gaskets and new cover.

Hope the passenger side is easier.

Final update:

Both sides installed, spark plugs changed, fresh oil, Slon VANOS covers and blammo - back on the road...

Except for the damn wiring harness I squished with the G1 intake piping. Had to rip apart the harness and re-tape some stuff to get rid of the warnings. So, I can now take my SC out in about 10 mins - yay me

Neil from NRW was great too. Had a chat about the "sharp" edges and as soon as he saw my post, he checked their stock. Mostly just me being OCD as those rough edges do not touch anything. Regardless, 20 seconds with scotch bright and everything was smooth. Love the silicone valve cover bolt grommets.

Really happy with the product and really hoping I did not f#$k anything up.

Happy wrenching my fellow car nutz.

Cheers,
