help with thermostat and valve cover gasket! Someone?

[trulli3300]

I posted a couple of times in the Maintenance section hoping someone would know, but no responses in a week. I though I would try here since the car is a 3rd gen. Valve cover gasket replacement "How To" or tips. Usually an easy job but there are a ton of things that have to be moved out of the way. Any help or clues appreciated.
Second. Coolant leaking near thermostat inlet...even when cold. I'm going to replace the thermostat and gasket...any tips or advice? 1999 4Runner LTD with 3.4L V6

my 4runner was also leaking coolant when it was cold not to long ago. turned out to be the housing gasket of something like that. as for the valve cover gasket job, it is a fairly easy job. if you can pick up a repair manual, it shouldn't be a problem.
