lol, it would be robbing people, it's real easy, take off valve cover, the seal pops out and a new one pops onto it, it's literally another 30 seconds of work more than just replacing the valve cover gasket, you might actually be able to do it without removing the valve cover at all since it the DIY shows it being pried off from the outside and replaced from the outside....

Did you notice any kind of burning smell now and again? I'm getting that and had a look and can see slight oil mark by the heat shield next to the gasket. With you guys calling them valve covers gaskets I take it you mean rocker cover gaskets? (English)

mine looked like that for awhile. no way i would pay that much to fix. maybe 200 total in parts and a sunday project.
Agreed
