No, not really. Just take your time. It's straightforward. Pay close attention to the vacuum lines under the cover, and what they connect to. SHould be two lines under there. inspect the little rubber connections and the lines themselves for any cracks and splits, replace if needed or questionable. Cheap insurance against problems down the road.

Check the one next to the fuel pressure regulator- it has a clear line going to it up front as well.

Be careful fiddling with the coils and harness up there, be gentle and if look closely at the wiring harness- If you start to notice the insulation is coming apart around the wiring- STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING, put car back together and figure out how to pay for a new wiring harness, otherwise prepare to be stranded.

If it looks intact and you don't see copper, once again, be gentle, unplug your coils neatly and think about getting new plugs and coil connectors now while you have everything apart. Cheap for all the parts at Pelicanparts.com. Those should be replaced as sets. Plugs get changed, connectors get changed. Misfires can occur if your coil connectors fail and they will.

just make sure everything is clean (brake cleaner works) before you bolt it together and don't get overzealous with tightening. Nice and snug, that's it.

PS- make sure the lines, and plug wires run neatly in the little valley in the Valve Cover and stay there. When you tighten the lid (allen bolts) on the top cover sometimes a plug wire or those 2 vacuum lines will get pinched between the coil and the cover if you don't have them routed neatly. The top cover should fit neatly without any fighting.

Pay close attention to that.
