It looks like you cannot remove the rocker cover gasket (valve cover gasket) without removing the timing belt, as the camshaft pulleys, are bolted onto the cover, You might want to also replace the timing belt and water pump whilst your there, as you have to take it off the timing belt anyway, unless you don't mind doing the job again in the future, as in remove the timing belt again in the future. I mean if you don't mind doing the same job multiple times, you may as well not replace the water pump when you do the timing belt, and just remove and refit the timing belt when you do the water pump. The only reason people replace them at the same time is in order to remove the water pump you have to remove the timing belt. If you have a car where the water pump doesn't run on the timing belt then you don't need to replace it with the timing belt. In the UK their is a company called Haynes which make workshop manuals for DIY'ers, it usuaslly contains most of the torque settings, maybe if your not in the UK you can see if you can buy one in whichever country you reside. I don't know if they are only sold in the UK or not.
