The problem is the gasket, not the valve covers. Replacing with a new gasket fixes the problem permanently. Has nothing to do with the valve covers themselves.

On the 2004 there might not be a valve cover gasket leak. I think by then they used a different gasket that lasts longer. Sometime the coils will just fail.

Replace the spark plugs and seals and to be super safe might as well replace the COP as well. That way the you wont have problems for another 50+ thousands miles without problems. I had the same problem with my car every time it rained. If you do not then the catalytic converters may get damaged...Dont risk it.

This seems to be a case of "process elimination": they dont know WTF is wrong withe car, but start changing parts and HOPE it fixes the problem, if not then keep replacing parts until it does fix the problem...the nightmare of all modern computerized vehicles. All this technology available and mechanics still cant pinpoint wtf is wrong with a car. Now I bet you try to do the same for an airliner and the problem is pinpointed in minutes with the same technology.
