The toughest part of replacing valve cover gaskets is to clear a path to the valve covers proper. On engines with a lot of components, this can be a challenge. Remove the air filter and detach the spark plug wires (be sure to number the wires so you don't mix up the firing order). Remove any other parts (hoses, for example) that are in the way. It's also a good idea to disconnect the battery. Remove the bolts that hold the covers in place and lift the covers out. Cover exposed engine parts with a heavy cloth to keep dirt from falling into them. Use a putty knife to scrape off (carefully!) the old gaskets from the covers, and then clean the cover and engine surfaces thoroughly. Apply a gasket adhesive ONLY to the valve cover side of the gasket. Then re-install the covers, taking care not to overtighten the bolts. Gaskets range in cost from about $10 to $40, and the adhesive is about $2.
