No wonder there are no videos, pulling the engine eliminates 99% of casual DIY'ers.
There's no vids because probably almost no one is doing this repair

It’s not a common issue on these cars like on the EJ. I’ve actually done EJ valve cover gaskets in the car. You need the valve cover gasket and threebond 1217H sealant or equivalent. It’s best done on an engine stand so you can rotate the head to the top so you can clean the surfaces and not have to worry about oil running back onto the sealing surfaces. DO NOT OVER APPLY THE SEALANT. Follow the FSM. It’s not a difficult job to do. It’s just a PITA. Might as well replace the TOB while you have the engine out.
