valve covers that won't leak - ??

holy crap thats a lot of steps... i use the ones i listed above, bolt them on and go. and they don't leak.. screw having to wait for permatex to dry..lol

It's a lot of never leaks also.
Personally I put them on and tighten them down to where I want them, but to err on the side of caution it's not a bad idea to let the RTV set up a little before putting pressure on so the gasket doesn't squirt out from the silicone surfaces.
