The valves are hydralic and require no adjustment. if noisey then a bad lifter/rocker arm/cam shaft may be the problem. also low oil level,or foamy oil from to much oil or a leak in the oil pump pickup system could cause noise
SOURCE: how to replace valve cover gasket 1998 chevy malibu
The first step is to remove all the parts that are in the way of you being able to remove the valve covers. (Ex.: air intake, loose wires etc.) Then you will need to remove your valve covers (using basic tools) and be very careful to not let anything get on your lifters, which your valve covers protect. Once you have the valve covers off compare the new gaskets to make sure they are the right size. Then remove the old gasket and replace with the new one using a high temp gasket sealant (available at any auto parts store) to attach the gasket to the valve covers. Then tighten down snug and check for leaks after replaced.

If it's a US car then there is not an egr on the 2.2L engine. I think some of the mexican and oversea's engines had them, but not here in the US.
SOURCE: Slightly adjusting the timing chain on a 98 Chevy
Your playing with fire to try to adjust something thats not designed to be adjusted even the hi dollar fancy racing teams are very careful going any from the factory specs as they have dynos and scopes and way more money to spend than me and you. No stock engine being used as a daily driver should be changed unless it's back to standard. Your stepping into deep **** unless you have deep pockets to deal withblown mototers and other bad stories. I know them and I can write them
