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?

We're talking about the cork seals, right? Why do you use sealer? I've just greased both sides with no leaks.

So the gasket will stay in place better when you install the valve cover. By not sealing the engine side, the gasket can slide a little against the head without moving the gasket out of place. |

So the gasket will stay in place better when you install the valve cover. By not sealing the engine side, the gasket can slide a little against the head without moving the gasket out of place. With mine, I bought a lot of the cork gaskets at once one day, and they are kinda warped. If I put the gasket on w/o sealant on the cover, it will not lay flat and I get a huge leak. A super thin smear of sealant to glue it to the valve cover, and it is good to go for a LONG time. If grease is working for you, great! Will save you time cleaning up the sealant when the gasket has to finally be retired. Zach |
