Help from Ontario Canada members needed

Hello:

 

I am hoping that there are some members in the Oshawa, Durham area that can recommend a good shop to have some work done on my car. I have the 3.4 DOHC engine and it is missing on one or two cylinders. I have changed the plugs and valve cover gasket on the front side of the engine, but I am not able to address the back side myself.

 

Hoping that someone in the area can help with it or with a recommendation of a good shop.

 

Thank you in advance.

I'm in Kitchener and can help if you make it down this way. Rear plugs are cake on the LQ1, easier than a 3x00 IMO

It is not so much changing the plugs as changing out the valve cover gasket and "O" rings.

 

I believe this involves removing the intake plenum, etc. This is where I become hesitant to

take it on myself.

 

Thanks

It's pretty easy to take off the rear valve cover, i've done it several times. Where are you located in Oshawa? Im just in the Beaches of Toronto, 25-30 mins from you I'm guessing. If you want, I'm sure we can arrange something
