Hi Rick
I have a Dolomite Sprint which has a flat paper type gasket for the cam
cover which sits on an angle so is very difficult to fit "dry". I "glue" the
gasket in place with Welseal, a brown sticky substance which is non
hardening, it does slowly change in consistency from runny like double cream
to thick and treacle like which makes cleaning off for a new gasket time
consuming though not hard work like products such as Red Hermatite which I
have also seen used for this purpose!

I started the installation but stopped when I realized that the gasket
doesn't sit in any grooves, etc. and that got me a bit concerned about how
to keep it in place so I get a good seal with the gasket sitting and staying
where it's supposed to be. Those of you who might have done this before, is
there some sort of goop or sealant that should be smeared onto the surfaces
of the cover and/or the engine surface to accomplish this, make the job
easier, and possibly get a really good fit? Appreciate any advice.
