Default What is the approx. labor time for valve cover gasket replacement?

I'm leaking a bit, and have had them replaced a couple times now in the past, but not leaking like a civ yet...what's the concensus to this common problem we have w/ our engines? TIA gents....

Default Common problem. Pretty easy to do. Maybe 1.5 hrs a head conservatively.

If you've done it before, you can probably bang both sides out in under an hour.

Default I assisted once, but it def took us alot longer to do...not like what you pros at EPL can do ;)

I think it's just removing all the parts to get to the heads that takes the time (at least for me). Thanks Dave.
