    Anyone with experience having the valve cover gaskets replaced?

    Does the engine need to come out or can the valve cover replacement be done with the engine in?

    With a mini/minor leak, what are the risks?

    Dan, Normal Guy Supercar, on YouTube has a lot of DIY videos on the 458. He did one on removing the valve covers when he had them recoated. Below is the link. I would imagine if you have some reasonable auto repair ability/knowledge, it won't be too much of a job to complete.
