Ok.. Figured it out. For anyone who has never done this, but needs to - Some tips:
You will need to remove the stabilizer bar going from the cowling to the strut tower, and also remove the cover to the white electrical interconnect box. I also used a bungy cord to hold the cabling up that crosses over the engine.
Once off, look for the breather caps that may fall off (this breather cap). The walkthrough on Pelican Parts says to Crazy Glue that back on, but I couldn't get the glue to hold. Ended up using JB Weld. Worked like a charm. I don't want that coming back off inside my valve train!
I did the valvetronic gasket and eccentric solenoid gasket while I was at it. I don't want to have to go back in there.
Not done yet, but I used this guide to get it done:

I hope this helps someone!!
