Yuri hit that one on the head, see a pro. You do not have a conventional valve cover or gasket on the b5254f motor, or any of the white engines for that matter. What you may think is the valve cover is actually the cam cover and it is one big piece of aluminum that has the upper cam bearing surfaces machined right into it. The gasket is actually a liquid gasket that is akin to loctite and you have to paint the stuff on with a short haired roller.
Why is it that you feel it is necessary to pull the cam cover anyhow? In my experience, they never really leak unless someone has already been in there and done a substandard job of putting it back together.
