<div>I’m using neoprene o ring seals in some new billet valve covers that I’ve had made and they are absolutely terrific, reseal nicely after multiple on / offs and no muck to get down the push rod tubes etc. I think that’s the way forward.</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Use wheel bearing grease on cylinder head mating surface. Easy to lift valve cover and a quick wipe to reseal gasket to head. Any good sealant to bond gasket to valve cover. Ted<br>

<div dir="auto">In the attempt to get my Spitfire back on the road this year, I changed the oil and filter. As I was pouring oil in, I noticed that oil was pouring out at the back of the valve cover. Since I have an alloy valve cover, I ordered a silicon gasket.

<div dir="auto">Any recommendations as to a sealant to keep the oil inside the valve cover? Or is that gasket going to be enough? <br>
