Default Need help with valve cover gasket!

Hey guys I'm new here and I just bought my first rear wheel drive car! A 93 SC300! Goodbye Hondas! I'm having to change the valve cover gasket and I can't seem to find the gasket or what I think is the correct gasket. I go to local auto parts stores and they all pull up the same ones the Felpro brand comes with two gasket that look like it may be rite but also comes with a VALLEY gasket?!! What the hell? I thought the place where the intake Mani goes on V6-V8 motors were called the valley? The more expensive Beck Arnly gasket comes with two oddly shaped gaskets. Can someone please help me! I'd love to drive my car!

Just go to autozone and get the felpros, they're a good brand.
The valley gaskets are for the sparkplug valleys I believe.

the 2JZs don't have a spark plug valley gasket, it's two gaskets for each camshaft. nothing for the spark plugs at all.
