Just remove the spark plug wire's off the spark plug's remove the breather hose plus the other direction's i posted and remove the old gasket and replace it with the new gasket and bolt bushing's.Before you install the valve cover put a bead of silicone where you see the T joint's in the diagram i posted so you don't have a leak there.
