RE: has anyone replaced a valve cover gasket?
If you have a 2.7 youll have to remove some intake pipeing. Otherwise its as simple as auditech said. You definatly do it from the top. Are you sure the valvecover gaskets are leaking and its not the cam adjuster gaskets. The only chain im aware of is tensioned by the cam adjuster. If those gaskets are leaking you will have to remove chain tension using a special tool. Then you will be able to slide the cam adjuster gasket seals in. I wouldnt try it without removing the cams thou.

whenever we do cam adjuster gaskets/seals we never remove the cams. its a waste of time and can be easily done with the special tool to compress the tensioner. all you need is various shaped picks to lift the gasket up over little dowels for the holes. then remove the half moon rubber seal. there a definite must if doing the valve cover gasket.
