Got the plugs in - no leaks. The job wasn't too bad. I was able to loosen the rear cam caps and then loosen the next two, moving forward, progressively less. This allowed me to get about 1/16" clearance on the back cam caps, which allowed the plugs to be removed more easily and also allowed me to both clean the gap in the cam cap flange as well as work a little rtv in there. So, other than the fact that I was aggravated with myself for not doing it when the engine was on the stand...the job went pretty smoothly. Replaced the valve cover gaskets, just to be safe. Of course I replaced the plenum gasket.

Thanks guys for all your suggestions/advice/help. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
