Katech Coil Relocation Kit - IS it a DIY?

How hard is it to move the Coils and replace the valve covers? Or is this just something better left done to people who do this for a living?

Wait a minute, these aren't the valve covers supplied by Katech for their coil mounts ?

A little more involved. The process is still the same but you'll have to drill some holes to mount the coil mounts. It's still no big deal.

Mark the holes, drill and then tap the holes. The bolts supplied with mine are 6mm X 1 if I remember correctly.

I have some GMPP CORVETTE valve covers that I drilled and mounted the Katech coil brackets to. I didn't bother with the lower , the upper bolts are in the baffle area. I put some silicone on the threads and put them in. Mine is a DD and I've had no leaks.
