You still can't put valve cover gaskets on dry ?  
   Well "Grasshopper" I'm not going to show you all my tricks. :lol:  :lol:

Oh, I CAN put them on dry...It's those stupid puddles left by my engine after the fact that bug the crap out of me.
Nope, I've been damned to an eternal life of 3H Permatex to the cover side and thin film of grease to the head side for so many years that there's really no point in changing now.
And, OK, I think I will go to sleep now.

I didn't know there was a trick for the gaskets. I put my last set on dry and it hasn't leaked. I must have got lucky.

Alright, David...how much did you have to give him for that one?

Yes, yes, I suck....we've already covered this.

I guess it was all of that model paint I inhaled as a kid...Of course, I still say the orange tube Testors glue was the best.

Oh that one is free. don't worry I'm sure they'll leak soon enough and I'll probably never get another one on without it leaking. :lol:

Do y'all mean to tell me that valve cover gaskets are not supposed to leak?   :shock:  If you don't have oil dripping on the ground when the engine is full of oil, how you do know when to add a quart or two? :?

Dang Zen, You should know this .   You add oil when the engine stops smoking/ leaking and you start hearing that "Squeaking" and low" rumbling"sound and not the smooth,silent, turbine like sound that all aircooled VWs are indeared with :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
