Mine's an 01 and came with a rubber gasket. The service manual says to replace the gasket upon removal. I've had my valve cover off 4 times with the same gasket, no leaks.

The gasket it a permanant one built into the valve cover. Good Luck

if it was a perminant one built into the valve cover how come i needed two seperate part numbers when i just ordered a valve cover and gasket?

I don't know how many styles there are. Mine is NOT built into the valve cover. I've never had a leak.

I have had mine on and off 20 or so times never leaked the dealer said I didn't need to replace it either. Mine is and early 2000.
