Yup, you know it. Just remove it, remove the old gasket, clean the base, install the new one, some people like to use black silicone with it at some places.

Screw back the valve cover.

VC bolts should be a little more than wrist tight using a wrench. Dont forcefully tighten them.

You should carefully clean each corner and use some red or black RTV sealant as said above, at the corners of each camshaft cap and also the dizzy cap
