Do I need to take out the plugs too .. sorry if I sound like a noob just don't want to **** anything up thanks
no you don't need too ... but since your in the area it a good time to change them out for new ones.. and also get new clips for the vacum lines .. new head gasket seal

umm what ? lol no need to pull the head...i think you mean valve cover gasket?
taking the valve cover off is VERY easy. all you have to do it take out your plug wires. unbolt the 4 huge 30m nuts that hold the valve cover on and take it right off. then, get a new valve cover gasket to put back on there and clean up or paint the valve cover if you want. you dont need to remove the spark plugs if u dont want to, but like mac said, its a good time to change them sine you are there anyway

Yeah, its pretty easy, like what has been said. If possible, try sandblasting it before you paint, so you can get all the crap that is caked on. My friend took his Honda to our high school shop and I sandblasted it for him and it came out great, just make sure you rinse out the inside before putting it on. Sand+inside of engine= no no.
