How hard is it to swap valve covers?

[Tarball]

I'm looking into getting the FRPP blue covers, but are the stock ones a pain to remove?

Not really done mine like 3 times, remove the upper intake and brake booster and slide to the side. Not hard just time consuming.

Whats the time frame look like? 1hr? 2?

I can't remember exactly, but I thought 1-2 hrs was way light. I was going to do mine but decided against after seeing some instructions.

I would say it definately took me longer than 1-2 hours to remove mine and replace my valve cover gaskets on my old 99. Probably 4-5 hours.

I didn't remove the upper intake, but did have to remove the a/c refrigerant so that I could remove the passenger side valve cover easier. The passenger side v/c is cake, doing the driver side was the pain in my ass.

This was my first time ever working on any Cobra though, so I imagine I could do it much faster my 2nd time around
