It's two and a half hours of flat rate time and moderately difficult. Judging by some of the things you have said here, I wouldn't recommend it for you.
- Remove air cleaner assembly and intake manifold plenum as outlined under ``Intake Manifold, Replace.''
- Cover lower intake manifold during service.
- Disconnect and relocate spark plug wires.
- Loosen A/C compressor mounting bracket and pull away from cylinder head.
- Remove spark plug tube nut and O-ring.
- Remove rocker cover screws and remove cover.
- Reverse procedure to install.

Would replacing the valve cover benefit anything except the oil being burned? Like would it run better or get better fuel economy?

No, not at all. It's to stop the oil leak only, although the oil leaking into the spark plug hole will damage the rubber plug wire..

Valve cover gasket isn't very difficult. Just unbolt the valve cover to get it off, thoroughly clean all contact surfaces on the engine and valve cover and install back together with the new gasket. You have a perimeter gasket going around the outer edge and individual ring gaskets for where each spark plug wire passes through the valve cover. Those are what is leaking, a head gasket is a completely different entity altogether. Head gaskets are very deep, expensive and skilled engine repair.
To put the comparison in your electronic repair perspective, it would be like me telling you how I needed a capacitor replaced when I actually needed a resistor. Or like telling you I need a new hard drive because my mouse doesn't work when all thats wrong is the battery in the mouse is dead.
With automotive repair, just like electronics, using the proper terminology will either clarify or confuse the person you are speaking to.
If you need to find some procedures with a few diagrams or pics to get a better idea about how to change that valve cover gasket, set up a username at autozone.com. they have free online vehicle repair guides that might clarify how to do the job.

Well I don't think the repair is worth the time.
Anyways, Thank You all for your great help. I've been working on getting the vehicle to run well. I did get it 0-60 in 10 seconds, so there is room for improvement there.
I still have a few issues, most notably the blinkers are broken. That is enough of a different subject to start a new thread, so I did. And any future question I have about this vehicle will be posted there as well.

Again, Thank You!
