I would use a little silicon on the half moons and at the bottom corners where the gasket L's and the humps (on the ends). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Gang, Just found that my Valve cover gasket is leaking and I need to replace it before my DE event this Saturday. Has anyone done one before? If so, anything I should look out for? I've done one on my old 8V with no problem but I'm just a bit concerned about removing the intake manifold. I've ordered the valve cover gasket kit and the intake manifold gaskets (just incase I need them), but is there anything else that I might need? Has anyone had a manifold bolt break on them? Just want to make sure I have all the gotchas covered as the tech inspection is Friday night at 4 and I won't start working on the car until Friday morning. Thanks, Eric _______________________________________________ a2-16v-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list For list archives, see listinfo link above. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
