Done this today.

Took about 20mins from undoing the first bolt to putting the last one back on.

Basically the hardest part is getting the 2 bolts on the back left in, as the coolant hoses, and throttle body gets in the way.

But other than that, not to hard at all. Turns out mine wasnt leaking, but just 2 of the bolts were VERY loose. Either way, all fixed.

Only other problem i found was i only had 1 cam. lol

cool - did you torque them down, or just ft (f*****g tight), lol
also is yours a 2e? -
are there any vac pipes running down the back of the rocker gasket??

Mines an AGG. And there is vac pipes on the rocker cover coming down, that need to be removed. Also you need to remove the brackets to the throttle body on the rear of the cover. You would also benifit from removing the induction pipe for a bit more room. There is also coolant pipes that run along the back of the cover.

Its a bit fidly. And i didnt torque them up, as i dont have a torque wrench. But they were not that tight originally, and my car has ran fine, on the button for 3 years, never broken down. So im sure its an improvement. lol
