1988 300E Valve Cover Gasket Replacement

Hi,

My 1988 300E has developed some steady weeping of oil past the valve cover gasket, and I plan to replace it shortly. I have read some accounts of this being a somewhat less than straightforward gasket replacement job. If anyone has a few hints to make it go easier, please pass them on. Thanks, Jim
