Default Valve Cover Gasket Replacement - B6

Hey all,

I'm going to be replacing my valve cover gaskets pretty soon on my B6 S4 and had some questions before I dive in.

1. Does anybody have a link for a DIY for this car? Most of what i've found is for the B5.

2. For anybody that's done this work before, do you recommend something other than the Bentley manual? I'm only avoiding the Bentley manual because it only works with Windows and i've got a Mac.

3. Are there any tips or hints you all might have for this job or is it pretty straight forward?

Thanks for any help.

I have not replaced them on my S4 yet, but need to soon. It looks pretty straight forward, I'm wondering what the torque for the fasteners is? Also I'm wondering if anyone ever ordered gaskets from this company, they have them for sale for $14.95 which seems very cheap.

I haven't checked dealer/oem prices yet either.
