Re: valve covers info help

just buy a couple cans of oven cleaner and give em a good spraying down inside and out. then use 3m weather strip adhesive and glue gaskets to valve covers then use permatex ultra black silicone when installing them back on engine side. ( thin coat is all thats needed. use spray starting fluid to clean cylinder head gasket surface.
