JDM valve cover for lude

I will be getting a red JDM valve cover for my lude in a couple of weeks, and I was just wondering, when I change the valve cover, will i have to change any gasket or anything else? or do i just unbolt the stock one and put the JDM one right on? thanks!

Just put it on and bolt it down. However, I would check to see what kind of condition the gasket and spark plug tube seals are in. If they are bad, replace them.

You will need a new valve cover gasket and the spark plugs gaskets...trust me. When i replaced my valve cover i tried to put the old one back on and it didnt work so i had to take it all off again and it ended up being a pain in the a$$. so i would just suggest getting a new one and doing it right.
