Default valve cover gasket change

ok my valve cover gasket is leaking abit, i wanna change it. i just wanted to see waht parts i need. i will probably end up buying a torque wrench, and order a valve cover gasket, so is there anything else i need to get. im thinking maybe i should also order the gaskets for the spark plugs, just to be on the safe side, the car has 92k miles, all the meantiance has been done, so i dont need to change spark plugs or anything, thanks for the help.

I just had mine changed last month. I got a new gasket with the seal rings or whatever their called and new spark plugs. The gasket with the rings cost me around $80.

got the inch/pound torque wrench. got all the gaskets wiht all seal rings and everything + shipping for $47. which was a awesome deal. the website was autopartswarehouse.com they have great service and the parts i got are all oem.

got my indian head gasket sealent. its for head gaskets but im gona be using it for the walve cover. the torque wrench was 95 bucks. but u know instead of takin my car to the mechanic to get this done and pay them couple of hundred bucks. i got me a wrench and imma go do it myself, hahaha. man that thing is leakingggggggggggggg

because of classes and work i never had the chance to do it this week but i think im gonna be all off this wednesday so imma go clean all the grease off, and put a fresh new gasket set.

if anyone request more info about the process i can give some direction and stuff.
