I don’t like to use glue either
And haven’t tried see it for 40 years If you must use glue Gasket-Cinch would be the best product |

Problems I have with a lot of the silicone based RTV/whatever sealants people tend to throw on there are 1. It works fine until it doesn't and when the seal breaks its worse than not having used anything in the first place. 2. cleanup and reapplication is a nightmare. Gasgacinch (and I usually only put it on the valve cover side) or nothing. |
