Replace valve cover gasket?
I'm thinking about repainting my valve cover because the paint is peeling off. Would I need to replace the valve cover gasket if I take the valve cover off just to paint it?

yeah you would have to if you want to maintain a good reliable seal... you could always try it, but you cant be sure, best just to replace it, while your at it do a valve adjustment

OR any of your local parts stores. Felpro Rubber is fine. I beileve I paid 22 or 29 from advance auto. I cant remember the total
I just did mine this past weekend actually. I put 8 little dabs of rtv where the gasket will hump over the cams for added security.
