How do you know your valve cover gaskets need to be replaced?
There are a couple indicators, usually you start to see a little smoke in the engine bays and smell burning oil. Usually this means the oil is leaking out of the valve cover and burning off on the exhaust manifolds.

Tools Needed:
10mm Socket Wrench
10mm Wrench (preferably ratcheting)
Flat Head Screw Driver
Rags
Cardboard/oil catch under the car
