      Before replacing the valve cover gasket, tighten down all the screws and see if that cures it.

      Keep in mind if you do need to replace that gasket, you will need to remove the plenum, so get a gasket for it.

          Also, the valve cover gaskets are a pain to change out. They must be Chevy gaskets, cause they are like a rock. :lol:
