<<but you may need a little silicone or something to hold the gaskets in place on the bottom of the valve cover ><

Do not use silicone.. it contaminates the 02 sesnors.

Ok Dean, good advice, I'll change the gasket as instructed...

Ok, I'll not use silcone for reasons explained by Arthur...

Thanks again for this expert guidance!

Silicone, as in Permatex gasket material - a few dabs of anything to make it stick temporarily to the cover. Arthur, what do you do to keep the gasket from falling off the cover while putting it in place?

Anything that does not have silicone.
I like 3m tack.

Dean, bear with me...

When removeing the valve cover to replace the gasket, must I remove
the spark plugs, coils and ingintion wires first in order to remve the cover?

Not the spark plugs but you have to pull everything else out of the way.

Thanks Dean...

I was hopeing to avoid going through all that removal again...oh well, here we go.

Anything else I should be changing while I've got that stuff pulled? I guess I need to find that 3m sticky stuff Arthur mentioned. Not sure where to get it...any suggestions.

No, but any parts store should have something that will serve the purpose.
