What gasket are you talking about? The cam cover gasket? You probably won't need to replace it. I've had my cam cover off at least 5 times in the last 8yrs and it is still on the original gasket...and doesn't leak.

I was just reading the "Everything I've learned from S2ki.com" thread and saw this...
Getting a valve adjustment in the US like the Europe manual states (~30k miles) may be a good idea. It costs ~$100-$150 and can include a new gasket.
78. There are separate spark plug well gaskets that keep oil out of the coilpacks, these frequently tear on valve cover removal and should probably be replaced (~$2.00 each). Have your tech order them beforehand.
Didn't want to get into and need the gaskets and not have them.

Better safe than sorry. It's like $25 from Hardtopguy.com. You want the 'valve cover' gasket and the 5 grommets that go with it.
