4 hours is pretty quick for the PCV and the valve covers in the car. Pulling the engine is rather easy and does not take long if you have done it before. May open a can of worms though, as you will most likely notice engine mounts that need replacing. Things like that are very expensive. Hope it works out for you. MAKE SURE YOU REPLACE THE WASHERS. They are expensive, but you can save some trouble by buying a reseal kit. That way when you need to do a full reseal eventually you have most the gaskets. Your valve cover gaskets will probably still be good at that point.

Thanks Cam. Are the washers included in the reseal kit? Actually, what is included in such a kit?
What do you think about doing the valve covers and PCV instead of just doing the PCV and seeing where we stand?
