depends on how mechanically inclined you are....
It's a 1 by my standards I guess. Piece of cake. Just make sure you get everything out of the way so that it can easily slide on and off the studs vertically. It's making sure everything is out of the way that is the hard part. I had to have my roomate hold some of the EGR tube out of the way so I could slide it in and off.

I don't know if others did this...
but I spread a small THIN layer of High Temp RTV on all the mating surfaces.
Plus, your valve cover should be somewhat clean...you know...because you are **** about that stuff and clean your engine bay
