Default Leaky Valve Cover Gaskets

What other gaskets do I need to replace when taking apart the top of the engine to replace the valve cover gaskets?

the only other gasket that you will disturb is the upper manifold. most people don't bother with that one.

BTW, this is my first ever LR, formerly a Jeep guy, had it about 2 weeks, just tinkering on it, fixing what shows up that needs fixing, figuring everything out.

well, then. it is a good time to swap plugs and wires, while you have the upper intake off, if that is on your agenda. people like to complain about the difficulty, in accessing the coil packs, otherwise. i do not find it to be that bad.

Yeah, that was one of the ones I was looking at, also called the plenum gasket, thank you sir, i appreciate all the help, considering plugs and wires anyway, might as well do it too.

magnacor or kingsborn 8mm are the suggested, for wire.
suggestions are all over the place for plugs. I have run champion cheapoes and now some bosch iridium things......only difference, I have noticed, is the price.
