Just a quick update, the 6 sparks plugs were surprisingly easy. spark plug 5 and 6 were manageable using 3" extension 3/8" with the spark plug socket tool. make sure you put some WD40 into your socket tool, otherwise it gets stuck in there. I did not have to remove the cowl/wipers for spark plugs/ however it would be a good idea to remove those if you're doing valve cover gasket. You definitely want to remove the passenger side brace bar E14 or 11mm to get more clearance, first remove the centre cover using T30, OP's pic say T27, both should work. While putting it back, the CCV hose cracked similar to another user in this thread. Going a little bit off topic, but hope this helps.
