As simple as taking your b16a cover off and putting on the type-r one. I would change the valve cover gasket while you are changing the cover.

.. it's kinda hard.
You'll have to shorten your exhaust bearings a schoshe, then re-thread the valve cover nuts along with a Type-R valvecover gasket kit. Total cost of doing this swap is about $200. eegads....all for the price of 'type-Rism'...
