Greg,

I clean the valve covers with solvent then I prep the gaskets with Permatex
High Tack Gasket Dressing on the side which goes against the cover.  The
Permatex stuff is in an aerosol can and it is like red colored contact
cement.  It holds the gaskets in place until the covers are seated.  I never
bothered with the prep until I had a new gasket which had taken a distorted
set and did not want to stay put while I clamped up the covers.
