1. I had to remove my cylinder head cover today due to blow by and the front PCV hose was completely falling apart from old age. What about the precurred RTV gasket on that- the FSM says to fix small cracks with RTV
2. However, it says that if the gasket is severely damaged that the entire cover should be replaced? There is no replacement gasket? Is a new cover all that necessary?

This article replaced the cylinder head gasket- but RTV'ed the snorkels. Will the replacement gasket be of a "paper-like" nature?
4. I had a lot of oil leaking from around the gasket seal- is rubbing alcohol safe in the rocker arm area?
5. What is varsol?
Thanks in advance
