[T2] Valve cover gaskets

[Jack Dinan]

Please take this simple idea in the right spirit, but this sounds a lot like a misalignment of the gasket to the point where it is not seating properly.  

Smearing ordinary chassis grease on both sides of the gasket helps keep the alignment while you are mashing the cover into place and also acts to prevent leaking.
