Valve cover gaskets are pretty easy and straight toward. Try to get the grey ones they stay flexable longer. I got mine from genos I think. I ain't sure about the wheels.

Okay thanks Mopar Nut and I went straight to Cummins and got the fleet guard ones they are grey so they should last and what about the seals around the nuts for the valve cover gaskets they hard to put on? and thanks Biltit for that link

The valve cover bolts just use basic o-rings. Simply slide the old one off and the new one on.
