This question does not make any sense because there is no such thing as a spark plug gasket. Spark plugs do not connect to the valve cover. TAKE THIS VEHICLE TO A SHOP.

What causes a 4th cylinder misfire on kia sportage 2002?
bad spark plug, bad spark plug wire, spark plug gap out of specs..then maybe coil to the back 2 spark plugs. The thing i have found recently ,i guess because of age of vehicles, the valve cover inner gaskets leaking oil into spark plg tubes. this causes all kinds of wierd problems. If you pull out spark plug wire and it comes out all covered in oil ,that is your problem. of coures you could be having other issues with #4, but generally speaking, keep it simple, like tune up ,or compression test to find a leaking head gasket, etc.

How do you change the spark plugs in a 1995 Chrysler LHS?
Using a torx head wrench, remove the two screws holding each individual coil to the top of the motor. Once removed, the coil comes straight up and off revealing the spark plug below. The engine has no spark plug wires (a good thing if you ask me). Removing the spark plugs are extremely easy to do!
What could be wrong if your car is only running on two cylinders?
the first thing that comes to mind is ignition system faults. Are the spark plug wires connected properly, in the right firing order? Has work been done on the distributer, or the engine head, recently? Ignition timing can be 180 degrees out, and the engine will still run, sometimes. If it is not the ignition system, the next most likely culprit is the head gasket, which seals the head to the block of the engine. If this gasket is breached seriously, it can cause a cylinder(s) not to fire. Is there water in the oil, as evidenced by a thick, white foam? Is there oil in the coolant? Either of these are symptoms of a leaking head gasket.
Is a valve gasket and a head gasket the same thing?
Valve cover gasket holds oil from the valves from leaking off the top of the head . Head gasket is lower and holds cylinder pressure between the cylinder head and the engine block.
