Valve cover gasket
Changing a valve cover gasket really has nothing to do with an engine starting or not. You need to check your power and gas for problems in starting.
Replace it.
hoe tdo you change a valve cover gasket on a daewoo nubira
take off the valve cover put on new gasket then put cover back on you if you cant figure it out you should be hit in the head with a tact hammer.
you have to cut out the fuel cells because they are partially attached to the rocker cover gasket but that will not completely remove it you also have to remove the radiator and then the rocker cover gasket will be suspended in the air. You then have to cut the cords and the gasket will fall to the ground. And the rest is pretty simple.
Valve cover gasket needs replacing
No you do not.... the valve cover only bolts to the head, and the head bolts to the block... True- these are two different jobs. When changing your valve cover gasket you may just want to ensure that your head bolts and lifters are still torqued down properly. Otherwise, DO NOT remove the head gasket if you simply want to change the valve cover gasket. when replacing the head gasket you should replace the valve cover gasket and may need to (depending on make & model) replace the egr gasket, intake mainifold gasket, and exhaust manifold gasket ...but not the other way around. If your replacing the head gasket ask your local auto shop if they carry a head gasket kit that includes everything necessary in one box...but if your just changing the valve cover gasket then just change that.
no, use rtv sealant
Yes, a gasket goo is always advisable for valve covers.
The inside cover seal on your Valve cover gasket needs replacing. It's an easy fix. Just be sure to mop up the oil around the spark plugs. It's a good time to change your plugs also.

Code PO342, Camshaft sensor came up, mechanic says replacing the balve cover gasket will fix this. Does that sound right?
Check to see it the valve cover bolts are torqued to specs. If this does not stop the leak, the gasket needs replacing.
You can use a High temp RTV type sealer for your saturn valve cover. Use Permetex Red or Grey for the best seal. make sure both surfaces are clean, and dry.
