i finally got time and all the needed parts to get everything together. My goal was to fix hesitation while driving. Quick summary of what I wanted to do:
1) Powder coat the the valve covers
2) Replace the valve cover seals
3) New spark plugs, new coils, and new spark plug wires
4) Replace intake seal for the throttle body
5) Add in the oil catch can

I got the new Bosch coils and made in Eastern Europe:

New coil on the left. Made in Slovenia

Here is two pictures showing the new powder coated valve covers. If any oil leaks it should be easier to clean. I did go through and steam clean the the engine bay.



So after much work, getting everything put back together. I went for test drive and go the same DAMN hesitation. Car does idle better and the output on the exhaust is cleaner.

So based on reading, the next thing to replace is the fuel pump and the fuel filter. I got those ordered.
