Default 98 Accord v6 valve cover gaskets

Any heads up on replacing these gaskets?

I'm reasonably proficient as a mechanic, any potential pitfalls, tips, techniques?

Garage quotes a bit too high at this time.

Appreciate any input.

Quite a bit of hardware, covers, intake manifold, throttle cable assy, evaporative emissions cannister, etc must be removed to access the valve covers and valves.

Suggest purchasing a download manual ($22) from automanualsource.com for your model to have detailed instructions.

This will take a bit of time to adjust all the valves. Rear bank may be difficult to reach.

good luck

Thanks.

Might be worth the $300 to have someone do it.

Best of luck to you.
