I'm debating on weather I should do it myself to save some dough or take into the shop and most likely get the shaft!
Thank you in advance!

Valve cover gaskets
I was wondering if anyone has changed there own valve cover gaskets on their 2000 Bonneville. And if so how long did it take you and I was wondering if there is a big difference in difficulty from the older style of the Bonnie.

Yes, it's about an hour, same procedure as the older bonnes, outlined here:

Thank you! That will save me some money. I was hoping there wouldn't be that much of difference.00Beast wrote:Yes, it's about an hour, same procedure as the older bonnes, outlined here:

Re: Valve cover gaskets
Very easy, but then I had the upper intake off, so I don't know how difficult the rear one is with it still on.
