Checked the valves on the '71 Fastback this weekend and in the course of doing so noticed that it was time to replace the gaskets. When I install a new valve cover gasket, I de-grease them and scrape any old gasket off with a razor blade. Then I apply a light coat of Form-A-Gasket to the inside of the cover where the gasket goes. Let this tack up and then set the gasket in place. Then I apply a light coat of multi-purpose grease to the surface of the gasket. I find that by doing this I can go 2-3 valve checks (3000 miles each) before replacing the valve cover gaskets and not have them develope any leaks. Just some tricks I have learned over the last couple of years. Was wondering if anyone else did this or had some other helpful tricks... ------------------------------------- Craig Woolston '70 Sqback and '71 Fastback cwoolsto@ladc.lockheed.com
