Need to take off the intake manifold off and then you are able to get to the bolts on the valve cover.

You should try to check for an online shop manual that gives a diagram to all the parts. This way, you're not missing a step and accidentally breaking something off.

I would start by removing air box, intake plenum, throttle body, and etc. After you remove all these, it should be easy to access the valve cover bolts. Lift that up and you'll see the gasket underneath.
