I've asked this on Facebook too, but Haynes says that when I'm reassembling the Valve Cover, I should use some gasket sealant.
If anyone has any advice as to what to use and the best way to apply it, I'd be grateful.

Updating this again:
I eventually got the valve cover back in place today after trying repeatedly to get it through an almost impossibly awkward gap between the crank case and the frame and without using any gasket sealant or grease, the existing gasket stayed well enough in place that I didn't need anything to hold it there. It seems to be secure all round, so fingers crossed it doesn't leak when I get the bike running again... After that, I had hassles after finding that two of the vacuum pipes (the ones you use for balancing the throttle bodies) had holes in them which probably explains why it tended to have an uneven idle. Unfortunately whoever installed them when I got the engine replaced a few years back had cable-tied them in place and then cut the end of the tie off flush which meant I couldn't reuse it, but there was also no way to get another tie in there. Eventually I just cut the ties and, fortunately, the holes were only about 1/2" from the end where they connect to the throttle bodies, so I trimmed them down and tucked them back where, hopefully, they won't bounce around to much and wear through again! (OEM replacements are £24 a pair!!) After that, I replaced the plugs and then had fun trying to work out the routing of the leads again! Anyway, I'm getting there, slowly... |
