Farmall F12 Valve Cover Gasket

Bill Copeland · Jul 7, 2010

What is the trick to get a valve cover gasket to seal? I have a new one in the mail from Rice Equip. and would like your opinions on what sealer is best. This old girl is like a dog i once had. She had to mark her spot everywhere she went.

I use 3M weatherstrip adhesive to glue the gasket firmly to the valve cover. This asures that the gasket stays in place and usually is leak free. For the trouble leakers I put a thin layer of high temp. silicone sealer on the head side of the gasket. It stays firmly hooked to the valve cover but will still come off the head when you need it to come loose without destroying the gasket.

Ditto to what ET said.
