Replace Valvecover Gaskets????
I'm going to swap out the valvesprings this weekend. Is it necessary to replace the valve cover gaskets when pulling covers. They have less than 1k miles on them.

No need to replace the valve cover gaskets, just clean the oil and dirt off of them before reinstalling.
I just changed my valve springs this past weekend. I had one rocker arm that lost one side of the bearings.
Just in case you don't have torque specs:
valve cover bolts are 106 in lbs(~9 ft lbs)
rocker arm studs are 22 ft lbs
