To replace the valve cover gaskets on a 1991 Toyota Camry V6, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Remove the intake manifold if necessary for better access, then unbolt the valve covers, taking care to note the order of the bolts. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly, place the new gaskets in position, and reassemble by bolting the valve covers back on. Finally, reconnect the battery and start the engine to check for leaks.
