I just used the gaskets and half-circles as provided, making sure the
contact surface was clean. My half circles were made out of silicone, the
gasket rubber was more firm. I decided not to use any additional sealant, as
I found no trace of any that was used by the factory. Only abot 1000 miles
so far no problems (w/ valve cover gasket anyway).
