Very easy, it's just like changing your valve cover gasket.

I had the same problem but my head gasket is also leaking ever so slightly. 200k on teh original motor and the plugs are in terrible shape. I'm going to replace the wires, gaskets, and plugs. I'm hoping that's what's causing my low RPM bucking and high RPM smoking lol

A friend of mine had a problem like this and he took his car to three mechanics and each one told him it was a sign of a head gasket issue. He had it replaced and hasn't had any problems since which is why I'll replace that on my car in addition to anything else in that area.

Hahaha... piston rings and head gasket. LOL!

I think you can't fix it and you have to just sell your car to me for $5. That's the only way you can really be sure to fix it.
