Replacing the gasket is pretty easy. Just pop off your vavle cover, carefully removed the old one and pop the new one in. It takes a bit of work to get it to fit correctly but take your time and it should be no problem. Its very easy to do yourself and just make sure that when you retighten the valve cover back onto the head that you DO NOT overtighten the bolts. This will cause your new gasket to become a leaky gasket. For your final question my gasket cost me $52.00 tax in from Ford. Its a rip off, but I needed it lol. Hope this helps
