erikvr Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I just bought a valve cover gasket kit OEM and have just one little question: Do I use any gasket sealer on either the valve cover gaskets or those little round thinggies"" for the oil passages?

stephenw22 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I didn't, and I don't have any leaks. I just used the new thingies (grommets?) that came with the kit. The old ones were brittle and leaked badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 The rubber seals are good enough for the first 25,000 miles Then they'll start sweat'n oil just like all EA82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aba4430 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I just used regular grease to lubricate the cork gaskets, nothing on the self sealing washers. aba4430 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
