AllPartsExpress has the valve cover gasket for $5.38.

You can get away with using the valve cover gasket a couple times, but IMO it's a PITA to get the valve cover back on with the gasket seated right, so I use a new one every time. I don't want to have to go back and redo it because the gasket isn't sealing right.
