If an MHG is correctly fitted on a cast piston engine and ANYTHING goes wrong ie: over boost lean out or detonation the ring lands will fail, same engine same conditions but with a composite HG the HG acts as a burst panel and fails saving the pistons.

That is good and all, but it's quite easy to pull a valve cover and know yourself, for sure...
While your at is check the tq rating on the head bolts with a reliable tq wrench.
.02c
What you really need to do is get yourself a Toyota Supra Repair Manual and do a book report on it haha...but seriously read though it. Then when your done, read it again, and again...etc.
Online version of the TSRM. <---click here to start your journey
This community is willing to help people that are willing to help themselves, meaning if you have to come here to ask every question you have, two scenarios are likely to present themselves.
1. You will be boo'd and hiss'd at, worst case a barrel of poop slingin monkeys will be sent your way.
2. Your posts will be ignored and you will find little help in the answers people give you b/c your knowledge going into the question will not be enough to understand the answers you will be getting.
Another thing you should do, browse the forum!!!!!!...Technical engine and build sections are your best bet for good technical information and tips/tricks.
After all this, you will likely have a headache and need to rest. Reading this post will further enlighten you----->How to Ask Smart Questions
Back to work for me, someone else can take it from here...Good luck and have fun here at SM.

also check out mkiiitech.com lotsa useful info on there.

The Hanes is ....ok....
But the TSRM is more specific whereas the Hanes also applies to mk2 I believe...plus the pictures are SHITTY.
Since you have a MKIII, it's probably best to look at the online TSRM.

Valve covers are pretty easy. Remove bolts, take off. Easy Peasy. gl.

Look in your Hanes manual for changing Valve Cover Gaskets.
Yes, be careful not to strip the screws holding on the valve cover. There should be a torque specification in the manual somewhere, I don't remember what it is because I've completely changed over all the Valve Cover screws.
You obviously didn't attempt to read anything and are just looking for a quick answer. This is disheartening and I am loading my barrel-o-shit-monkey cannon as we speak.

You can do it without it. Remove everything that is necessary to pull the valve covers off. Throttle cable anchor, 3000 pipe and other piping/tubing that is over the valve covers, coil packs (mark each spark plug wire with a marker so you can easily put them back where they go in the coil pack...anything that goes over top of the engine.
Once everything is removed, get a good fitting phillips head screw driver so that you don't strip the screws as you remove them. You may have to wiggle them out a bit...DON'T DROP the metal/rubber bushing washer thingys.
When you put them back on, tighten each one a little bit till you have resistance on all of them. It doesn't take much to tighten them. My advice is watch the valve cover gaskets when you do the final tightening, once you see it compress slightly, its probably good enough. Tighten from the ends of the head toward the center. Start the car, check for leaks...tighten if necessary. These are cheap mild steel and will strip easily so be careful. They are also prone to backing out, so once and awhile check to see if they are all still tight. Correctly tightened, the gaskets should be slightly visible.
********Not everybody will take their own time to help people like you, and personally, I don't mind cause its a slow day at the office...also it sucks to strip those bolts(I did it myself)...But ALL of this information can be found by using the SEARCH button in the forum.***********
You need to get a Torque Wrench FT/LB, they are like 70 bucks or something, to check the torque on the head bolts(not valve cover), you will need a special socket allen tool as well.
