Valve clearances = New Gasket?

I just applied a little gasket dressing stuff from halfords

Make sure you clean all the old sealant from the cylinder head, & the gasket itself before replacing the cover, or it'll probably leak.
If the gasket comes away from the cylinder head cover, hold it in place with a few drops of Superglue on the outside edge only.


Cheers.

Is this the stuff I need?

Good morning all.


That will do nicely. Just make sure all of the old sealant is removed before applying the new stuff. Brake cleaner seems quite effective at lifting old gasket compound.
