Pretty easy. Remove the valve cover by loosening the 5 bolts holding it in place. There are a couple of hoses and another screw that will need to be removed as well. If the valve cover has been on the engine for some time, you may need to apply sufficient force in breaking the valve cover/gasket loose from the engine. The gasket lies beneath the valve cover along its edge. The edge is lipped so the new gasket can be placed in this groove. A Honda dealer will typically apply an additional sealer to the new gasket above the semi circular portions at either end of the valve cover, but I don't believe this is required. (Pretty expensive to buy the tube for just one application.) Replace valve cover with new gasket installed. Tighten bolts, replace hoses. Done. ..................................................................................................................................... Not done. Don't forget the O-rings around the spark plug openings in the valve cover. These should come with the new valve cover gasket.
How much does it cost parts and labor to replace a valve cover gasket on a 1990 Honda Accord 4door.

usually the valve cover gasket and the oil seals on the top of the cover,replace gasket and the also the distributor seal
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.
same as you do on the ford question below your question here. And that goes for all the other types of vehicles you have.
visit the parts store and look in the chilton manual for your make and model it should have the answers you seek
Check your crankcase ventilation, the hose or pcv may be blocked or disconnected.
If you mean on the exterior of the spark plug then the valve cover gasket is leaking. If it is on the electrode of the plug you are burning oil.
Most probably, you have a valve cover gasket that is bad, and the oil is dripping down onto the exhaust manifold, and is being burned. Replace the valve cover gasket.
