Wow, I just changed the vc gaskets on the 91 colony park yesterday. It was surprisingly difficult and took 4 hours. Is there anyone who might know the trick to doing this quicker? specifically, the drivers side top rear bolt on the cover (over the #8 cyl) seemed really difficult to access. I used an 11mm craftsman deepwell with a 3/8 drive after attempting several different u-joint-extension combos. I ended up unbolting the upper plenum and disconnecting the throttle and cruise linkages to get more access to both sides. Just fishing for tips if anyones got any.

Unfortunately, you gotta remove the upper plenum to get to the V/Cs on an EFI car :(

You should prob replace the PCV sreen while ur in there...

you can get the drivers side valve cover off without removing the upper plenum........the pass side is a no go......gotta remove the upper plenum

:stupid:
Luckily the upper plenum is pretty easy to pull, and it does make changing that PCV valve a lot easier. Actually thats how I found mine, when I did the vc and intake gaskets on my old motor.
