I also got around to siliconing the gaskets into the tappet covers I painted last time. I put a good bead of silicone on the cover side of the gasket. I squished the gasket onto the cover, and wiped off the excess that oozed out, making sure I had good coverage all the way around. I added a little grease on the head side of the gasket, and a little grease on the bolts, then bolted them together to finger tight, plus a half turn, and again, wiped off the ooze and let them sit overnight. When I broke them apart, they came apart slick as can be. I used a moroso steel core silicone gasket. Putting them on was SO much easier. The bolt holes are permanently lined up and you know your gasket wont squish around when you suck it down.
