Valve cover gaskets?

Valve cover gaskets?
I am going to have to put new valve cover gaskets on my 04 Disco I just bought. Where can I get the best gasket (doesn't have to be the cheapest), and what other gaskets, and things should I do while I'm at it? I'm also going to do new plugs and wires (what have you guys had the best luck with?) Any help would be great!

Also, have you re-built the front u-joints with grease-able ones? That should be your first priority...period.
Magnacor 8mm wires (best price here: http://www.apexperformance.net/CartGenie/prod-1155.htm ) and Bosch Platinum Plus 4s are what I use...make sure you get 8mm due to high temp of our aluminum engines.
Spike can chime in on exact socket size for your valve cover.
Congrats on your disco...you will enjoy!

valve cover requires an 8mm 12 point socket as I recall. It never hurts to change a gasket that is leaking as a bonus you get to see if your engine is a sludgy mess or heavily varnished (and take pics and post them up here so we can see the filthy mess!). I always just get rover gaskets from the dealer unless their prices are too crazy.

I changed those out the same night, figured I was already in there, and that SAI is a bear to get around. Easy as can be when I can actually reach them coils in the back.
