Hello and welcome to Justanswer,

My name is XXXXX XXXXX X will do my best to assist you with your question.

In order to remove the rear valve cover you will need to remove the wiper motor as well as the upper plenum for clearance. The rear cover calls for 2.6 hours in labor because of the extra work required to get the clearance you need.

Customer replied 475 days and 5 hours ago.

i noticied that upper plenum has like 3 or 4 bolts in the front how many are on the back theres also a seal underneath this plenum i noticied that its also attached to the throttle body,what wil be the easist way to do this? i havent worked on this before ,any suggestionsm
