Default Valve Tap/ Valve Cover gasket Replacment f22...

I have a slight valve tap, what can i do to get rid of this? A valve adjustment??

Also what do i need to do to replace the valve cover gasket and spark plug tube seals...

It looks like i just need to take off the timing belt cover and the spark plugs and the 2 nuts on top of the valve cover to get it off right? or is there more

and theres oil on my spark plugs so that means its the spark plug tube seals right?

Most of the times, oil in the spark plugs is caused by broken seals.
All you need to do is remove 4 screws of your valve cover and lift it, it could be a bit difficult since that usually sticks to the head of the engine. If you have a rubbered "hammer", gently hit the valve cover around, but like I said, do it gently.... all you want is to brake the stickness of the seal.
After removing the valve cover, remove all 4 spark plug seals and replace the valve cover gasket with a new one. You will buy a new set, so it will come with 4 seals and 1 gasket.
Put everything back on, and you might want to use some high temperature adhesive (special for gaskets and stuff) to ensure there are no leaks on the valve cover!
