Each DIY will take 4-5 hours minimum and you need to know how to properly get everything back up and running (properly do the coolant bleed procedure, resets, etc.). On a caked motor air tools are almost required, it's almost guaranteed to break one or more bolts (and some are difficult to reach).
You could probably consider DIY since you have a shop. I didn't want to minimize the effort involved in these DIY's though.

The valve cover DIY is difficult just because it has the Valvetronic motor to deal with.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
