Default Valve Cover Gaskets 2.8L

Called the auto parts place. THey have two part numbers for the valve cover gaskets. One is just the gaskets and the other comes with the spark plug boots. The price diference is ~30. Is it worth it to change or should I look for them individual of the valve cover gasket kit?
Thanks,

Default Huh? Spark plug boots? As in the rubber shrouds on the ends of the ignition wires?

There are two actual gaskets on each bank, one goes around the perimeter of the head, the other seals around the spark plug wells. You'll want to replace both of them at the same time. The same set fits either the left or right banks and they run about $25 a set if you shop around (autohausaz.com is where I got mine).
