Raymond,
There is blue stuff, and there is blue stuff. One is quite good & one is
sort of Okish. If it is guarrenteed to seal against oil it is the good
stuff (comes in silver tube if memory serves me. Sorry I do not remember
the number.
Anyway, you draw a bead on your valve cover with the good stuff, let it sit
15-20 minutes on more depending upon weather (read instructions for skinning
over time). AFTER the RTV has skinned over, sit the valve cover on the head.
Wait another 15-20 minutes then tighten the valve cover. If you just pour it
on. pop the valve cover on & torque her down, all your blus stuff will squish
out.
Those of you who recently saw my Land Rover... It has the factory type rubber
gasket & no blue stuff. The good blue stuff goes on next time I adjust
valves.
