[V6-12v] valve cover gasket change.

[Tom Christiansen]

George,

The crankcase hose is pretty easy to remove from the valve cover. Just 
squeze the two gizmos on the side of the hose connector and pull. I have 
not replaced valve cover gaskets myself, but I agree with your assessment 
that it should be a pretty manageable job.
