Where are gaskets in an 99 Oldsmobile alero?
There are many gaskets on any car engine. If you are asking about head gaskets, they are between the cylinder head(s) and the engine block. The cylinder head is under the valve cover. --------------
Where is the valve cover gasket on a 1992 Chevrolet Cavalier RS with 4 cylinder engine?
As with all valve gaskets it is located between the valve cover and the head. To get to it you undo all bolts holding the valve cover on and then pull valve cover off. you will find it on the valve cover/ head contact point.
What causes valve cover gaskets to break?
In my experience valve cover gaskets typically don't break until you remove the valve cover. Some (especially older style cork gaskets) tend to harden over time. Once that happens the combination of heating/cooling that expands and contracts the valve cover can cause leaks to develop. When the cover is removed to replace the old leaking part, some of the gasket might stick to the cylinder head breaking the gasket. Cheers
Changing head gaskets on 2004 f350 6.0 diesel?
Changing head gaskets for a 2004 f350 involves many steps. Any wiring, air lines, and anything else over the valve cover will have to be removed as well as the intake. The valve cover is removed, along with the rockers and push rods. Then the head can be unbolted and the gasket replaced.

Are valve cover gasket and head gasket the same?
NO. The valve cover gasket seals the valve cover from leaks. The valve cover covers the valve train and it's components and it bolted to the top of the head. These components sit atop the head. The head is bolted directly to the engine block with another gasket. Water and oil flow through the head.
Is there a difference between a head gasket and a valve cover gasket?
Yes. The head gasket forms the seal between the engine block and the head(s). The valve cover gasket seals the gap between the valve cover and the valve train it is covering.
