Matt, Barney has a chapter on his site on this subject.

I've always done most of this already and have to say it works well.

Fellow Listers:

  Quick question:  When installing a new valve cover gasket, should one put 
some permatex sealant on one or both sides of the gasket (valve cover side 
and cyl head side) or should the gasket be installed completely "dry"?

  Thanks for the help....
