I just did my cover + gasket today too after finally receiving it from trash ass autohausAZ. The cheapo aftermarket cover was pretty much as advertised, the bolts themselves were noticeably low quality, an E10 socket has trouble seating on most of the bolts. I ended up having to tighten many bolts with an 8mm. Otherwise, it was a straight forward job with a lot of steps. My CEL came on after install because I didn’t fully seat the Valvetronic connection on top of the valve cover. I didn’t have any issues removing the cover and gasket from the engine block. And god damn those bolts on the valve cover towards the firewall were a real pain to get a torque wrench on.
