Valve cover gasket replacement question/MA state emissions ?

[Bernie Benz]

Hi Alan,

My cars are DDers also, and I would hear no end of abuse if my wife couldn't
make it to the course for a 10 minute window on her T time.

Excepting for head gaskets, I would never use or replace a solid gasket.
The Si caulk cartridge covers all, and is always available.

The only problem that I have with retirement is that one can't go back to
work to rest up, It's go all the time!
