there are two valve cover gaskets for camry 97 XLE V6, one in front, one in rear, oem parts cost around $20 to $40 for both. rest is all labor. other parts can consider replacing such as intake plenum gasket, throttle body gasket, egr valve gaskets (2x) because those are crush metal gaskets, not ideal for reuse, but they are not that expensive either, like $20 to $30 for all the oem metal gaskets. also good time to do the rear 3 spark plugs while they are all exposed.
front is very easy, 15 minutes job, the rear is a bitch, require to remove throttle body, intake plenum, around 3 or 4 hour easily, but for people who does this on more frequent basis and with proper tools, probably can get the job done in as little as 2 hours.
