My indie tells me that the valve cover gasket has to replaced as well. I have a leak coming from the upper valve/cam area. Do I need to replace the valve cover gasket as well. He plans on doing this whole job for $382. It seems it should be much more if he in fact is replace the VC gasket. From what I have read it should just be the U-shape gasket and some sealant.......

Blowing smoke? Is this a DIY? Any special tools required?
