It's not a bad job on ether side but the back bolt on the valve cover next to the body is a big pain in the butt to get to. I just changed my valve cover gaskets with wiring harness on my 96 7.3 yesterday. I strongly advise you to check the plugs when you pull them apart to check them for melting inside the plugs. On the vibration set your parking brake put the truck in netural and get under the truck a check the drive shaft at the transmission and see if there is any movement up and down. The bushing or bearing in the back of the trans might be going bad and this will cause a vibration. Mine did the same thing and it was the tail shaft in the trans that was bad. Changed the trans and the vibration was gone.
If you change the glow plugs go with Ford glow plugs and save yourself a lot of problems. Auto Zone sells Dorman valve cover gaskets with the wiring harness and the plug to replace the ones on the truck harness in case there are bad. There about $65 each gasket so they are pricy. If you need help just let me know and I can give you some tips if you need them. Bandit

This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
