How long did it take you do do all that and did you run into any unforseen problems. I am planning on doing my coils, plugs, vc gaskets, pvc valve and pvc hose on Sunday and I am interested to hear how your repair went.
Thanks

edit: I saw your other thread and saw that your mechaninc did the work.

It took me 10 hours to do my vc gaskets. 2 of those hours were spent looking for one of the vc cover bolts. I was convinced that I had dropped it into the timing chain cover...I didn't though. Word of advice: As soon as you pull the vc off, put a rag in the hole that goes down to the timing chain cover so that nothing falls down there.

Since I changed the vc gaskets, I have no more hesitation and my fuel economy has gone through the roof. I'm getting well over 300 miles per tank now vs the 270 miles per tank that I was getting before.
