Rear tappet cover replacement

[MichiganSHO96]

How long of a job is this? The car is running great! but leaks oil on the rear manifold and bugs the crap outta me. Any tips would be nice.

Thanks,
Jerry

Give yourself most of the afternoon your first time through. Second time shaves more time off. Mark or label stuff as it comes off to help get it back together. I have the same thing coming up. I have to replace the intake gaskets too. I noticed alot of the seal coating has flaked off when I took it off 2 weeks ago. You might want some o ring seals handy in case some get damaged. The fuel rail goes into the lower intake and the valve cover is below that.
