Hey - want to replace the rear valve cover gasket this weekend on my 91 lumina with 3.1. Already did the front which was very easy.
How involved is doing the rear valve cover gasket?. Can you get to it by just rotating the engine forward or do you need to remove the throttle body assembly. I also want to replace the PCV at the same time.
Thanks for any advice. These Luminas are great cars.

The rear valve cover is quite a bit more involved, you have to remove the alternator bracket and possibly the upper plenum too. It's been a while since I've done an older 91 Vin-T, but they are easier than the newer ones.

Ok Thanks. I guess I will tear into her and find out. Just looking for any shortcuts or advice to save me removing anything I dont need to.
