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?

I will probably get flamed for this, but here is what I did on my ghia & previous 914:
I used blue RTV to glue the gasket into the valve cover, put it in place and "slightly" clamped it in place. This guarantees it drys flat. Once that was dry I put a very thin film of RTV on the head side and let it dry. They never leaked again after that and lasted for years. Stu |
