Meh, it should only take a few minutes.

Pictures man, pictures. If you don't know what something is, take many pictures showing it's location, and draw arrows in MS Paint. Post 'em up!

Don't screw with stuff you're not sure about, that could end up getting ugly.

Autozone, $1.99 for some Valuecraft carb cleaner.

Simply spray on a *COLD* engine, and it'll take grease off no problem.

Either that or get some Purple Power. Works!!!

I got my valve cover gasket...its the wrong one, so I gotta order a new one. And I when I pulled off my valve cover off and noticed I had oil filling up my spark plugs.

It happens! Soak up as much of it as you can. Remove your spark plugs and clean them off too.

I for sure will...but it could take awhile. I gotta re order my gasket cuz I got the wrong one, and then I gotta reconnect my exhaust to my header down pipe, cuz now there's a like a 3 inch gap between them....and then I gotta replace my spark plugs, cuz my old ones are swimming in oil, and they won't fire. So it could be a little while
