Has anyone changed their valve cover gaskets?
My 4 cylinder spark plug is coated with oil. I called a mechanic and he said my valve cover gaskets need to be changed. He wants close on $200 to do it, and I know I can get it done cheaper if I do it myself. Has anyone done it?

Or if you don't feel confortable replacing the seals your self. I have valve covers for sale that have freshly replaced spark plug seals. I am selling them for $30 (plus shipping) each.
**I forgot to add if you are going to take the time to replace your plug seals you should go ahead and do the valve cover gaskets as well. Also pull codes from the ecu before you do this if your knock sensor is shot it would be a good time to change it. Once you have the plenum off its only a few bolts away under the Lower Intake Manifold (LIM).
