Valve cover gasket replacement during valve adjustment?

if the gasket is in good shape and not cracked or difficult to get off i would not replace it. the mechanic should know this. some are o-ring style and designed so it's not to be replaced everytime the valves are checked. just tell the mechanic to call you on every decision for what to do so he doesn't do something you don't want done. tell him to keep all the leftover stuff that gets replaced too so you can inspect it yourself, that way you save your self the hassle of arguing about something that could have been prevented.
