Can be a bit of a pain removing the IM, hidden bolt catches everybody out, and you will need to replace the IM gaskets as well as the rocket cover gaskets, and I always leave it over night the let the gasket sealer to set before starting the engine.
But the whole job can be done in a morning.
As said in a earlier post, pulling the plug leads you will see be the end on the lead if it's leaking, becease it will be covered in oil.
And don't over tighten the bolts when doing the rocker covers.
