What's the amount of labor hours that typically would be required to replace the rear valve cover gasket?

I'd say two...
but if you're in there anyway, might as well do a valve adjustment which could add another couple.
Also, pay attention to how the seals are set on the spark plug tubes...seems simple but I managed to fk up 2 sets because I was putting them in upside down.

I would just need the valve cover gasket, correct, or would I also need the spark plug tube seals?

Not sure if it's worth it to me to do it myself or have the dealer do it. If it's two hours worth of labor, I'm looking at $10 for a new spark plug, plus another $30 for the valve cover gasket, plus two hours of labor = $10+$30+$120 = $150.

my spark plug seals were fine, but i changed them out anyway.
but if the valve cover is off, the spark plug seals will be accessible and in theory; 2 birds with one stone

Plus, normally the felpro set they sell locally will include it all. My spark seals were "fine"...but very hard and brittle in comparison to the new ones.

Was it a pain in the ass to remove the intake manifold and associated wiring/hoses? The rear valve cover looks, well, like a pain in the ass.

I had done it before, once...so it wasn't very challenging...label all your hoses...once you remove them though, it's not that bad, a handful of bolts holding it down, some hose clamps, some wiring harnesses and some brackets held on with a 10MM bolt.
Be methodical about removal...although something tells me I don't have to tell an engineer that.

No sir...not for the intake, no clamping off.

unless you're in rush, in which case you'll need to pinch one off.

It's your H-talk I can't understand any of this shit.
Also it's early Monday and I didn't have a coffee. Eat a chode.
Edit: On unrelated note, cleaned my steering wheel this weekend real quick. Man you don't notice how dirty it has become until you clean it, which I did like... 6 months ago?
Still don't get that guy with the fucking magic eraser, with water:woolite 6:1 followed by water and a wipe to remove the stickiness it takes like 15 minutes ffs
