I need to change both of my valve cover gaskets as they are leaking slightly. So, I am going to attempt to do it myself and wanted to know what I should use to clean the surfaces before placing the new gaskets on? Also, should I put anything on the surfaces with the new gaskets?

They should be pretty clean. You'll need to glue the gasket to the cover. The gaskets have little metal spacers to stop them being compressed too much ... Be careful you don't drop them in the engine.

Ideally you'll want an 8mm 12pt 1/4" drive deep socket to get at the bolts.
