Default Tip I got from an old Pro I thought I would pass along

When sealing a cork gasket best to wet it first for an optimum seal :cheers:

Hmm, that's cool. I usually put a light coat of oil on valve cover gaskets but I have completely switched to rubber/steel gaskets. Thanks!

I thought it was going to be "if it aint broke, don't fix it"

Either way, great tip. I have cork gaskets. :cheers:

I use this stuff called Tite Seal. It is used on cork gaskets used on small aircraft engines. It is a sticky tan goo that has never leaked.

Yup, nothing like a good coat of rust to seal up a gasket...
