I take that back. You all have convinced me...I decided to try to get the set on ebay for 60 bucks, then will purchase the valve cover gasket from fastlane - it's only 7 bucks for my 617.950. Figure I don't need the DVD since I found a set of valve adjustment procedure links by whunter. Wish me luck on the ebay auction!

I'll post an update once I get some of these adjustments / procedures done, and I'll try my best to take a video before and after of the engine running, as it might be helpful to others.
