Default Valve Cover Gasket/ Difficult?

I believe i have an oil leak in my Valve cover gasket on my 1989 F150 351.
Was wondering what the level of difficulty was in changing out the gasket, things i should look for an/or be concerned about.

Ive done alot of work myself on the truck (alternator/waterpump/thermostat/etc.) so i have some experience.

Any info helps

Thanks

It shouldn't be too terribly hard. The biggest problem with it really is getting the upper air manifold off to get to the passenger side valve cover (assuming the setup is anything like the 302).

If you have done the water pump...the Value cover gasket is a piece of cake...
