Anything i need to keep in mind when replace my 420A valve cover gasket? I replaced my oil less than a 2k miles ago and i checked my oil and i was low 2 quarts! I noticed the valve cover was leaking oil on the firewall side. The gasket set includes the ones for the plug holes. Any suggestions, any problems i may run into?

Just make sure that you clean out the groove for the gasket really really good (and the plug seals too), and also that you get it installed correctly. Sometimes they can move around a bit when trying to put the VC back on the head and then when you go to tighten it you can ruin the gasket if they're not on correctly. I belive it says you can use RTV gasket sealant to hold it in there, and IIRC, you need to use the stuff anyways where the gasket goes around the cam sensor. You have a haynes/chilton right? They show you exactly where the sealant needs to go.
