Nothing to the valve covers it's not that bad I just made sure i torque mine back down to factory specs and followed the tighting procedure in the manual for intake as well. I took a few pictures so I could remember where the vacuum lines and various wires were routed but ended up not needing them.

But valve covers on a 3.5 are a walk in the park. It's a ****ty job to do on the de-k. It took me about 3 hours and I've been doing this professionally for 20+ years.
