It would be a great time to replace the spark plugs if they've got some miles on them.

The Bentley says the engine has to come out to get the passenger side valve cover off. If it was me I'd skip the valve covers unless they were obviously leaking.
I should have mentioned, I just did T-belt/thermo/waterpump/steering pump and spark plugs 12 months ago, so all that is good I assume.

Valve covers are ok, but I have a noisy cam adjuster. Seems to operate ok.

I have heard of the issue on passenger side valve cover. Some have gotten it out with a bit of bending. Fortunately (?) my Driver side is the side making the noise. I think..
