Valve cover gaskets
Thinking about doing my valve clearances today...
I don't have replacement gaskets though. Now, for anywhere where keeping fluid in is important, I'd replace gaskets, but, is it really worth replacing them for the valve covers, or just re-use. |

I thought about mine too, then sent it off to the dealer 'coz I'm lazy

Re: Valve cover gaskets
Had the covers off my motor probably 8 times and still on same gaskets. They're not a paper type that rips they're a rubber one.

Started on front caliper overhaul for now, chewed screw in the reservoir. Luckily, had extractor set I bought ages ago that I've never used until now. |

Only thing is, don't have tensioner tool if I do need to change them, but it's a cheap job, and although I've not done it before, HBL reckons it's easier than this mornings job. |
Re: Valve cover gaskets
You can make tensioner tool in 5 minutes, chop up a hacksaw blade.

If yours are in a real mess I have a spare you can have, can't guarantee it's performance either though.
