Driver side valve cover removed


All in all it was easy we had the drivers side tore down new plugs in in less than an hour and the passenger was a bit more painful less room and more crap in the way I used a 13mm open end ratchet to remove the two valve cover bolts near the fenderwell where you can't get a socket, ended up having to remove injector to get more room for pliers and what not.
