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.
Rocker gasket? If you are referring to a valve cover gasket, no it will do no damage as long as you keep the oil level full.
how do i take the rocker cover off to change the gasketon a 2001 2.7 hilux petrol
Not necessarily. Check the rocker gasket.
yes
I am assuming you mean "rocker cover" gasket. All you have to do is simply take the cover off, peal away all the old gasket, clean both gasket surfaces, and then use a small amount of RTV silicone in the corners of rubber gaskets (NOT CORK GASKETS) and then re-install the new gasket in place of the old one.

To replace a blown head gasket on a large truck such as a 1995 Suburban many of the major components will have to be removed. Cooling system will also need to be drained. Remove the timing chain, rocker covers, rockers, push rods and intake manifold. Something to note, there are two heads on this engine. Both heads should be resurfaced so the gasket will seal properly.
Pull the valve covers off. loosen the rocker arms with out taking them all the way off. then you can turn the rocker arms to pull the push rods out. replace push rods, and tighten rocker arms back down and put valve covers back on
