RE: Bolt-on valve covers

["Erkson, Toby" <toby.erkson@intel.com>]

I've been using the bolt-on covers for over four years and 
never had one leak.  I use stock cork gaskets and the kit came 
with rubber O-rings for the bolts.  You can get extras at VW 
dedicated stores and through advertisers in the VW magazines.

I love 'em!
