After finding out how much Ford is charging for parts and labor for a valve cover gasket ($900) I’m going to do it myself.

Does anyone know where I can find instructions/ step by step on this repair? I found a repair guide on the forum for a 2017 but not sure if it’s the same for a 2018 due to one being a gen 2 vs gen 3.

I hate to revive this from the dead but do you happen to have the manual for removing the driver side VC for a 2018?
