I have the info
Alldatadiy.com. It is a big job, you need some gaskets from the dealer, and time to work carefully. I think if you have a bad lifter, check the oil is good and drive a while, the lifter may have lost all the oil pressure sitting around. {Watch the coolant temperature does not exceed the m in Normal on the gauge. If it does, the waterpump needs changing.} I had a noisy lifter in a Dodge when I cranked it without any start, the oil must have squeezed out. It was OK with some driving and still is today. Here is the valve cover procedure: You have to remove the upper intake manifold
Upper
Disconnect battery ground cable.
Remove water pump pulley shield bolts, then shield.
Press black retainer on upper intake manifold with screwdriver and disconnect main emission vacuum control connector and brake booster vacuum connector from manifold.
Loosen engine air cleaner tube clamps on air cleaner outlet tube.
Disconnect crankcase ventilation hoses and Idle Air Control (IAC) valve tube from outlet tube fitting.
Remove outlet tube from Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor and throttle body.
Remove accelerator cable and speed control actuator from throttle body, then accelerator cable bracket from intake manifold. Position bracket aside.
Remove IAC valve fresh air supply hose from upper intake manifold fitting.
Disconnect fuel charging wiring from Throttle Position (TP) sensor, IAC valve and EGR vacuum regulator control.
Remove vacuum supply hose from upper intake manifold to Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve at upper intake manifold, then disconnect vacuum supply hoses to EGR vacuum regulator control and EGR valve.
Loosen and remove EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube nut from EGR valve, then position tube aside.

Remove intake manifold bolts in sequence. When removing engine components, always remove bolts in reverse order of tightening sequence or damage to engine components may occur.
Remove upper intake manifold and lower intake manifold upper gaskets. Discard intake manifold upper gaskets.
Reverse procedure to install, noting following:
Install new intake manifold upper gaskets.

Remove upper intake manifold.
Remove crankcase ventilation tube from lefthand valve cover, then fuel charging wiring brackets from lefthand valve cover stud bolts. Position fuel charging wiring aside.

Remove ignition wires from spark plugs and valve cover, then loosen valve cover bolts and stud bolts in sequence.
Carefully remove valve cover from lefthand cylinder head, then gaskets from cover.
Reverse procedure to install, noting following:
Clean valve cover sealing surfaces using shop towel and suitable metal cleaner. Apply a 0.31 inch diameter bead of black silicone rubber sealant F4AZ-19562-B, or equivalent, at two places on valve cover sealing surfaces where front cover and cylinder heads contact and two places on rear of cylinder head where camshaft seal retainer contacts cylinder head.
Install new valve cover gaskets onto valve cover.
