How much of a PITA is the vavle cover gaskets on a 94 SS?
just looking for a rough estimate of time involved....
silly question but can it be done w/o pulling the motor... i know on STI's there is barely enough room in there to do plugs...

I recently asked th every same question... My leak was from the passenger side valve cover.
It is an easy job. Do a search for it and you'll find a few helpfull posts, but it is intuitive and quick.
I'd say it took me 1.5hr and a lot of that was spent cleaning up the cover making it all pretty-like before I reassembled. So I have a shinny pass side cover and no more burnt oil smell - yeah!

same deal... I'd remove the washer reservior to gain a bit more clearance, and replace the oil fill neck o-ring while it's apart too.
It's really easy - 3 bolts per valve cover
