$80 total parts, maybe 4 hours labor, with air tools. the passenger side valve cover is kinda hard to get out, if i recall correctly.
dont buy cork valve cover gaskets. get rubber.

i'll tell ya what, those are some shiny freakin wheels. wanna trade?
you can use silicone for the water pump gasket, but use it sparingly. dont glob it on there, just a thin line or real thin coating.
upper intake has to come off to do the valve covers

your gonna need a harmonic balancer puller to get it off, as well. you can buy one for about $25 at autozone, or rent it if your really hard off for cash. they will also pull steering wheels, so its a multi purpose tool
