Valve Gasket

So my car, which I’ve never named (I don’t understand why people name non-anthropomorphic things.) has been leaking oil for the past year or so. Leachin’ out about one quart of oil between changes. It looks like it’s the valve gasket that’s deteriorated. Take a look at some of the pictures:

I’m actually happy about it cause now I have more car things to do when I get back. The gasket isn’t too expensive, and I’ll also get to adjust the valves when I take the cover off.
