How difficult would they be for a 16 year old who hasnt changed the oil yet, but has a shop full of just about any tool he would need
Fuel filter should be 10 bucks, PCV should be 5, O2 part numbers and prices are listed up in Techinfo, Plugs should be AC Delco or NGK, wires go with MSD or Taylor. Trans pan seal and filter from your local auto parts store, about 30 bucks. There'* a procedure for this up in Techinfo also.

This "type" of "basic" tune up shouldn't take any longer than about 45 min! Any longer than this & you're doing something wrong! That'* with a 15 min leeway too for someone that'* never done one before too!

For the first timers, take your time gapping the plugs, and take your time with the trans filter. Getting the old bushing out can be tough. If you have two people working together on this, it IS fast. Get your helper to do the fuel filter

Man, you guys are smart. I'm afraid of taking something off and having fuel or coolant or something spilling everywere, and having to get it towed to the dealer. I'll probably have my dad help me with all of this, he has some mechanical/engine skills from working on his truck and our old tractors. Ill probably start off with the cheap stuff first, and work my way up.
