Lol, if you have to ask probably no but it means you probably didn't look to even see if you can if the engine is covered by hoses and wires and things are bolted to and around the valve covers. you might call to see how much a shop will charge you. Then make a decision but the actual job should not be all that difficult.

It relies upon on the motor vehicle. I almost not in any respect replaced it, inspite of a cork gasket. The trick is to not tighten down the valve conceal nuts fairly tight. All it needs to do is crates a seal to ward off oil splash from leaking out. you do not want to squash the gasket flat for that. there is no rigidity behind it. you should use somewhat sealant. If the gasket is really stiff or cracking it would get replaced. Alternately you may only use a similar gasket and keep an eye fixed on it. If it leaks replace it. it is not a severe gasket, so in case you want to apply the former one the engine gained't explode.

You can. One hint, get your digital camera and take lots of pictures of everything from different angles for when you have to put stuff back together again. And don't use globs of silicon goop on the new gaskets like Bubba Joe will tell you to.
