how do i remove the valve cover to change the gasket in a toyota camry 1996
Yes, it does.
When it leaks.
One of the symptoms of a blown head gasket for a Toyota Camry is excessive steam or coolant coming from the tailpipe. Engine oil mixing with the coolant and a miss in the engine are also symptoms of a blown head gasket.
Approximately $1,500 is the going rate for a head gasket replacement.

The average cost to replace a head gasket on the 1992 Toyota Camry varies slightly with the area where you are located. The replacement can cost as little as 700 dollars and as much as 1300 dollars.
I needed to change the oil pan on my Camry and couldn't get a gasket at any of the local dsicount shops. I called the nearest Toyota dealer and the service guy told me that he doesn't replace the gasket. Instead he uses RTV silicon, I did the same and haven't had a problem.
It's not hard but time consuming.
4 cylinder: half of hour of work (~$30-40) + the gasket (~$20-30).
It should about 1 hour of labor (~$70) + plus gasket (~$10-25).
You need to remove the head cylinder and replace the gasket. You will need at least to get a good manual if you want to do it on your own.
