| Do you have to remove the spark plugs to remove the valve covers??? i know this is probably a dumb question and the answer is probably yes... |

| You don't have to I believe, at least on mine recently I didn't have to. The plugs screw into the head, they stay in those tubes. I left my plugs in for now until I install my uhhhhhh "redone" valve covers... this is how they stay on, at least on my 6, the hemi may be different, I dunno...

| It says 1 hour per side to replace gaskets, so they can't be TOO bad......
It ACTUALLY says 0.9 hr per side for replacing the gaskets, we use Alldata here

I take it they are calling the valve cover the "cylinder head cover"._________________  Another quality sig by DartBoy. Nine out of ten dentists approve. |
