If you gonna replace it - replace both (bank 1 and bank 2) and also spark plug seals (if you find oil in spark plug wells, or just preventive):

Do happen to have a how to on removing the valve covers? I just dont want to take things off the are not needed.

Ok, I have the gaskets changed now. I have not driven the car much but its still smoking. I'm sure it's just burning of the motor.

Does anyone have a pic of the backside of the motor?
