How hard was it to replace both? I know I have some leaks around the valve cover and I think I may be burning a tiny bit of oil.

It is so easy. Just remember don’t tighten the bolts to hard. 6-8 lbs is what the book sez or you could break something.

I did it in 3hrs. And that included running to Nissan for the gasket I did not buy And cleaning my engine and valve cover.
