    Valve Cover Gasket?

    I have a quick question. I recently bought a painted valve cover. I want to know if I keep the same valve cover gasket or buy a new one. I have 40,000 miles on my car. Also when I put in the valve cover do i put some kind of silicone to seal it up. thanks.

    nope, do not need a new one unless it is torn or damaged.

    DO NOT put any kind of sealant on it. it will seal itself.

    You will need to apply some UltraFlangeII at 4 locations.

    At both locations where the front timing chain cover and the head meet, and at the #5 cam cap(drivers side end of the head) and where it meets the head.

    That is how they come from the factory, as well as how it is detailed in the Helms manual.
