Hi Jeff,

I think Dan thought  he was asking about valve covers.  Just a misunderstanding.

Also, Marcus, The 3M adhesive worked fine The seal I first used was an old one and too thick and stiff.  I just happened to choose to use rubber cement the second time. 

Good luck with the project and I hope you get some good suggestions.
