How do you replace the head gasket on a Chevy Impala?
Dis-connect battery hot wire, remove air cleaner and other components in order to remove the intake manifold. Remove head, insert each bolt into cardboard and mark which hole each came out of. The same goes for all parts removed, mark each with arrows, numbers or whatever it takes so as to replace all back to how you found them before starting your repairs. Remove defective head gasket, clean gasket material off both the block and the head with a putty knife or other tool. Install new gasket, replace head and all other parts in reverse order and you're done. Of course you want to use good gasket sealer for the manifold and hose connections. DO NOT USE GASKET MATERIAL BETWEEEN THE HEAD AND ENGINE BLOCK. ONLY THE NEW HEAD GASKET GOES THERE!!!!!!!!!!
Can you use a sealant for a head gasket?
Never use sealant for a head gasket! It is used as a quick fix for cracks in the gasket but will not last very long. Safer to get the job done correctly.

Could leaky vale covers cause bad head gasket signs?
If the valve cover is leaking it may let oil flow down the head and make the Head gasket appear to be leaking. Clean the engine and then use oil dye or watch for leaks. If there is a coolant leak it is not the valve cover.
How to change valve cover gasket?
What you need is a couple clean rags...some spray solvent...a putty knife and your new gasket. First remove the valve cover, then with your putty knife...very carefully scrape the cover if any gasket is stuck to it...then use your hands to peel off any gasket material from the head...place some newspaper or a couple rags on the cylinder head to catch any debris before you use your putty knife to scrape the head(make sure you hold the knife almost parallel to avoid causing any gouges)...then use the cleaning solvent on the valve cover and make sure there is no oil residue or gasket paper left...then wet a clean rag with the solvent and clean the cylinder head and wipe clean with another rag. Now your surfaces are ready for the new gasket. Place the gasket on the head and carefully place the valve cover back on the head. Tighten all the bolts hand tight first then starting in the middle and working out...tighten the bolts outward in a spiral pattern to the recommended torque...somewhere around 20 pounds... About one half turn past when it feels snug

Does a head gasket needs any kind of silicone or glue prior installation or just proper torque?
No never. Not if both surfaces are good, clean and true. I've never, ever, used sealant on a head gasket. If the surfaces are NOT true etc. then you should get them faced by an engineering firm. Always use a new gasket every time. Never use an old one. (The only exception is that the vehicle manufacturer says to use sealant in the manual.)
