Re: Valve cover gasket Replace
Spark plug well seals should come with the gaskit. But yea you should replace them. Thats it for the VC job. Make sure to put sealent on the right parts of the gaskit. Also dont overtorque the VC bolts.

Re: Valve cover gasket Replace
Replace the PCV valve while you've got it off too. It's only a couple bucks for a new one. And definitely be sure not to over torque the valve cover like Silver said. It would make for a bad day. lol

Re: Valve cover gasket Replace
You may have removed the system that properly vents it back into the intake and such, but it still needs to vent the crankcase pressure out... Mine just runs a line to my catch can. Where is yours running to now then?
