Again, waste of money. The vavle cover gaskets are probably not hte issue, it's the seal in the RTV between the breather and valve covers that leaks. While it is nto a bad idea to change the gaskets as well, the real issue is the RTV-type crap they use between breathers and covers.

I am no mechanic, but I did mine myself - have not put them back on cause it is COLD here in North Georgia and my car sits in an unheated stall!

Here is the re-sealed breather-to-valve-cover assembly, again, have not put it back on the car:



I am no mechanic, and can tell you that this was not a hard job at all.
