I went in asking for Gask-a-cinch and the oldtimer at my favorite flaps told me this is the stuff to have: a tube of 3M Super Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive. Any experience with this stuff? What do you fellas use?

The 3m works well.. Just use it on the valve cover side, then grease the side that fits to the head.
I didn't change the valve cover gaskets on my 912E engine over 160K miles using this method. |

I didn't change the valve cover gaskets on my 912E engine over 160K miles using this method. Thanks Jake. I don't think I've changed out my gaskets in 8-9 years. 10k miles in that time. Its time to check the valves and I figured while I was in there maybe its time. I have 0 leaks. What do you think Jake do it or not? I probably won't get in there for another 2 years to check vavle lash. |
