Hopefully you glued your gaskets to the inside of the valve covers, and put 
a light coating of grease between the gasket and the surface of the head?   
That lets them just lift right off.

If they stick to the head, prepare to have fun with your gasket scraper. :<

If they stick to the valve cover, you still get to have fun with your 
gasket scraper, but at least it doesn't fall into the motor.
