Valve cover gasket replacement

This will be the first time changing gaskets on the D. Is it a pain, or pretty standard? What do I need to inspect while the covers are off?

Thanks!!!

It is pretty straight-forward. Check the condition of the valves, and if you know how, check the clearences for good measure.

What do I look for to check their condition?

there is nothing really to check. you have hydrolic lifters that will bleed down over time making the rockers appear to be loose. resist the temptation to tighten them up...
