How do I determine when a valve-cover gasket needs replacing ??
I have read that they are good for several removals of the covers.
I have four engines to do this summer; that is 4 X 6 = 24 valve-cover gaskets.
My plan is to get a set of SIX and replace only the ones that need it.
Thanks.

Keep a set on hand and wait until they leak OR when you have it off and they are hard and brittle then go ahead and swap before it starts leaking.

The black ones usually leak within a couple years. Unless they are 6 months old or newer, don't expect them to reseal after a valve adjustment.
The gray ones last and last, they will reseal as long as they are still pliable - and they stay that way a long time.
