Wooley,
I've taken several cam covers off including my own 5-6 times! I've never seen adhesive on the gasket from the factory. It sticks a bit just from the heat. Try just putting your hands on either side of the cover and wiggling back and forth. You should feel the gasket start to let go and slowly peel away If neccessary tap one corner with a plastic hammer or use a block of wood with a regular hammer to get the process started. It's really pretty easy!
I actually put a few dabs of silicone on the gasket when I re-install it. I really helps to hold it in place as it's a very tight fit on the America getting it under the frame. On the America, you have to unbolt several electrical items, unclamp the wiring harness from the bottom of the frame rail and move them out of the way to have enough clearance to get the cover off or on. It no big deal though. With the std. Bonnie like yours, it may not be necessary. You might have more room.
On a scale of 1 to 5 wrenches, this is a 1 wrench job.
Cogito ergo equito
