Exclamation gaskets/spark plugs & wires

im looking to change my wires n plugs but cant seem to get an actual idea of what im looking for since i keep reading gs;s only have 3 wires or something.
another thing is my valve cover gasket is leaking . is the timing belt cover gasket a seperate gasket from the valve cover.. if so i might as well change them both...
anyone shine some light on this ...

the timing belt cover doesn't have a gasket, there are 2 valve cover gaskets, part number 11214-46011 and 11213-46030

are u sure there is a leak from the gasket? it could be the cam seals

and there are 3 spark plug wires and 3 coil packs that connects to the other 3 spark plugs

I actually just picked up a valve cover gasket kit, it came with three two intake and one exhaust? Unfortunately it didn't come with what I really needed which was the tube seals cuz my plugs are covered in oil

Timing belt cover gasket is a separate gasket, two valve cover gaskets, i DYI them my self, now its leaking worse then b4, y need to use silicone gasket maker, in certain places.. Also 3 spark plug wires, relatively easy.
