A community member from Oakley, CA writes: For those darn valve cover gaskets, go down to the local auto parts store and get windshield adhesive.

My friend taught me this a while back and it works every time for me...just don't over tighten! Stacey added: Good tip. Silicone or Permatex adhesive will do the same thing; you can get them at the auto parts store, too.
