    Well doing the valve cover will be much easier then doing a head gasket. You can suck the oil out of the spark plug tube, the remove the plug and clean it and the wire and reinstall it. The little bit of the oil that goes down in the cylinder wont hurt it but will cause it to smoke till it burns out. It probably took it some time to fill up.
    Why did you order a new head gasket?
