Hey guys, I went to NAPA and purchased a new gasket for my valve cover. The guy there told me that the brand I purchased was of higher quality and didnt need to use gasket sealer. Wouldn't I want to use it anyways just to ensure 100% seal ? Also, the gasket came with 10 rubber gromets that are supposed to go around each of the 10 valve cover bolts, which dont really fit well arount the guide holes for the bolts and plus they are stiffer rubber than the gasket itself so I would imagine that only torquing the bolts down to 8lbs it wouldnt make a good seal with the valve cover and engine itself. I thought that if I used the sealer with the high temp gasket, I would be fine. Any ideas?
