If you have a DOHC then that would be the head gasket for it.

No it's not. that's the valve cover gasket. The head gasket goes between the head and the block, not between the head and the valve cover. if you ask for a head gasket you will get the wrong part

Also you will have no need for a head gasket if you are taking off your valve cover. Heres the difference,...note that it will look a tad different because these pics are of my SOHC motor.
