Answer
Vincent, don't waste your money on the valve cover gasket. Your friend is right. Replace the motor. Or replace the spark plugs which will give you about a month of somewhat better driving. Whichever this is the end of the life of your motor. Rebuilds are good and can save you money but know what you are doing before jumping in there. Whichever the cylinder head is probably fine so replacing the bottom end is not that bad.
