Re: valve cover reassembly



Most of your silicone will simply pull off by hand in strips. Use a
putty knife (or an official gasket scraper) to remove any that has
found some teeth, but be gentle -- you're dealing with aluminum.
Carburetor cleaner works great as a sprayable solvent, with narrow
pattern if you've got a straw (silicone curls up like Wicked Witch of
the West). Try not to spray on platic or rubber.

No compression in a valve cover. Is full of oil, so you do want a
tight seal. 

When you paint the covers, why not tape their mating surfaces?
