Did the passenger side because drivers side looked like alot more hassle and after reading the chiltons manual I did not use any sealant. For every other engine besides the 5vzfe it says to use a few dabs of sealant on the half moons and also had alot more steps to do. It took about 1.5 hrs and I had planned on alot more time so I cleaned the cover really good and all mating areas.

Unless it was a typo in the manual, I should be good but if not it wouldn't be the first time I learned something the hard way. Gone for a couple drives 20-30 minutes each and then it sat overnight and so far no leaks or oil spots in the engine.
