No biggies, just take everything off and a good clean and some RTV and the new one in. Just be sure that the leak comes from thecover casket, because there are man examples off the cam position sensor casket leaking and not the cover casket. None of those is really hard but time consuming because of many bolts and be carefull when checking cam timing if the cams are off.

My experience is that the seals under the bolt heads thin out and lower the clamping force which allows the cover gasket to weap oil! So if you plan to change the gasket, make sure you change all of the ?? 6 or 7 washers under the bolts
