[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1039868, member: 3828"] You can use any [I]O2 sensor safe[/I] gasket sealant to stick the gaskets to the underside of the valve cover. Stick 'em on the cover and then leave it to cure before putting it back onto the engine. I have never used any sealant of any kind on the underside of the gasket, even at the half moon shapes that the FSM says to put it, and I've never had even a hint of an oil leak. The oil is just splashed around on top of the head, not under any high pressure. By sticking the gaskets to the cover you will be able able to remove and reinstall the same gasket many times. I've had mine off and on 3 times now for valve checks/adjusts. Just be sure that everything is properly lined up on the ends (especially those half moons) before you tighten down the cover so you don't mangle or distort the gasket. [/QUOTE]
