Default Valve Covers...

Hey everyone, I have a problem I have a oil leak.
My question is is it hard to take the valve covers off? What do I need to take off first?
Do I need to take the fuel injection and intake manifold off to get to the valvle covers?

Sometimes you can sneak the right side one off without removing the upper intake plenum.But to get to the left one you need to remove the upper plenum.
So just remove the upper plenum and go from there.

all you have to do is remove the upper intake and unbolt the valve covers its an easy job. Some advice i would buy some 93 mustang reuseable valve cover gaskets not the cork one bc the cork ones will leak over time again

and the PCV valve itself too. since you have the upper intake off clean the IAC, EGR, TB, and the upper intake too

Replace the screen? How much would that run me?
Is it on the manifold or intake?
