3rd Generation Just changed my valve cover gasket

I went to my uncle's shop this afternoon to change my valve cover gasket in my 92 xle v6. i did half of the work and one of his mechanics help me out. It was a pain in the a** trying to get that dang intake plenum off. it took us about 2 hours when we finnaly got the valve cover off. there are plenty of bolts and vacuum hoses to remove. we also spent alot of our time trying to get the wires from the rear valve cover, out of the way. we had to lift up the vehicle and unplug a wire. the last hour, we cleaned the valve cover, placed the new gasket in, then return everything to where it was. it is probably the second hardest thing i've done in a car. The first is when i had to change the whole starter from a saturn, probably because i did not have the best tools in the world. it was so tight in that saturn. so anyways, i am really happy that i have actually changed my gaskets, though it was not the fennest thing to do. More experience is always good.
