Subject:VALVE COVER ADHESIVE
From:Greenamyer, William L

Did an adjustment on the valves this weekend.  Some of it went fine.  Seems
like some of the valves don't move the way I think they should or there is
some spots on the adjusting screws or something.  Haven't figured it out
yet.  Also, it seems that the last people to rebuild the engine appear to
have glued the valve cover gaskets into the covers.  Is there some adhesive
that is used for this?  I understood that you didn't use or need adhesive.
Just trying to find out what kind of a mess I might be getting myself into
if I start pulling out the gaskets and find that I am going to end up having
to glue the new ones in to fix scratches or something in the present valve
covers.

Anyone got any ideas?

William
