Noob with engine cover off

Almost 33,000 on my 09 t/c. First time my valve cover has ever came off and the first time I've really ever done anything like this. Judging by the pictures is there anything i should do under here before i put the cover back on? Engine cover is being cleaned inside and out.





Hater's gon' hate.

Looks clean. Just wipe dowm the gasket and sealing surfaces before you install it, no special things to do really.

I would replace the seal - even if it looks pristine. I reused mine and it seemed to hold up initially, but after a while it did sweat slightly. They are only $30 so it is worth it...
