Valve cover gaskets

[partwerks]

It's time to replace the leaking valve cover gaskets, but what other items will I need to get that will also need to be replaced in the process of doing that job? I was thinking there was a gasket that gets ruined when taking off the intake manifold, I think??

Where is the best place to purchase the items at?

What type of VW. and what engine are you working with ?

Ditto and 8v or 16v? VR6? There's reusable rubber valve cover seals available too for 8V (here).

What would all be needed once it is all taken apart?

That's one from another site. If you dont get an answer from someone here who has done it just Google it.

There's a gasket between the upper intake plenum and lower. Might as well get that one too in case it tears. Other than that, just the v/c gasket.

just go to your local vw dealer they usually have them in stock and its like 8 or so bucks or you can order one from autozone or any parts store its the upper intake gasket
