Changing the valve cover gasket is usually a straightforward job,
although as one lister suggested on NG engine (which I'm not familiar
with) it might be necessary to remove the intake manifold, which makes
the job much more complicated. Make sure that you buy a good quality
replacement gasket - cork ones should be thrown out rather than used.
