If you have a slight mechanical aptitude, it's going to be a "no-brainer".

It won't be a problem, I just wanted to paint the valve cover but didn't want to invest more than an hour into the project. I just found a gasket kit for 12.99 at the local parts store,probably gonna knock this out tonight.
