I dont recall the price of the gasket, but its a very easy job.

Just remember the 10mm bolts aren't that big and you dont need to do them up
very tight... just enough to squash the rubber gasket a little. Some people
break them...

And theres a little bit of silicone gasket sealant needed each side of the
camshaft bearing housings at the front, and either side of the cam angle
sensor at the rear. If you miss those you might be left with some oil leaks.
