Smile valve cover gasket

I own a 1986 Toyota Camry LE and would like to change the valve cover gasket. Could any one give me some instructions on how to do it? Is it a easy replacement? Really appreciated.
Thanks

getting to the Valve cover gasket is whats going to take up some time. The actual process of changing your valve cover gasket should be like what 10 mins? You will need a torque wrench to put the valve cover back on, you don't want to overtorque it or else you will crack it. All you do when you get to the Valve cover is remove it, peel the old gasket off maybe the o rings if you got the whole kit. replace them with the new ones, put the valve cover back on and your set. If you don't have the rubber gasket you will need some type of silicone or whatever you will use to "glue" it in place. If you do that tho you can't drive your car for like 24hrs while it dries and seals.
