I agree, this is the way to do it. It allows you to drive your car, and take your time to do it right.

I think he is either talking about painting or polishing it.

When replaceing the valve cover, there is 8 spots where you must use high temp sealant. They are on the head flange on both sides of each cam.

I4 is a real simple fast job, V6 is a pain to get at the rear one, takes a few hours, not a bad job at all
