I have a 1993 960 with a leak from the valve cover. It is so bad the oil that leaks floods the #5 spark plug hole. It seems like who ever had the vehicle before me over tightened a couple of cover bolts and they are now stripped and oil is leaking from around them.

Does it really take 7 hours to remove and replace the valve cover?

Has anyone just retapped the stripped bolts without taking off the valve cover and how successful were you?

And if have to remove the valve cover, is there any instructions out there.

The vehilce has only 100,000 miles on it and besides this leak is running great.

Thanks
