so far i put some sealant in the groove of the valve cover thin bead all around to hold the gasket in.
should i also apply a thin bead across the mating surface on the head? or only around the corner where it is more prone to leak? how did you guys do it?

shout out to ATTappman...great how to.

A couple dabs in the groove to hold it. You meed a dab where the cam journal caps mate to the head, so that would be the corners with the sharp angle up over the hump.

^ thanks for the great pic. i still haven't gotten everything back together...by the time i get back from work its dark and i really can't do much. hopefully ill have everything back together tomorrow and no leaks!

also suppose there was a part of a leaf just hanging out on the head and i sealed everything up would that destroy the engine? i only say because i almost didn't see this thing as i was putting everything back together it was right in the corner too, i did pull it out though. lol

As said, just where the gasket has a sharp bend in it:


And a leaf? No, it wouldn't.
