Jeff
I built a jig using a piece of wood and some 6d finish nails.
This is to silicone the gasket to the valve cover (this way I can remove the
cover, adjust valves and reuse the gasket)
I glue the gasket to the cover, place it over the jig and place some weight on
it overnight til it drys. The gaskets are a little distorted from the v/cover,
the jig keeps everything in the right shape.

Plug it up or route it to the timing cover breather (1275s only)Pick up a nice
aluminum valve cover with no vents, this looks great with a Weber.
