1. If you've never done it before, be aware that the threaded holes that the
spark plug cover fasteners go into are also studs that hold the valve cover
down.  If it doesn't come off without a fight, suspect that something is
amiss.

2. I used some of the RTV gasket maker stuff around the half-circle plastic
plugs in the back of the valve cover.  I don't know if it helped or not, but
I haven't leaked a drop out of that area since doing the job about a year
ago.
