    are valve cover gaskets reusable?

    like the title says, if I pull off my upper and lower valve covers, can I reuse the gaskets, possibly with a little silicone? or do I need to buy new?

    ah ok good to know. I might see if I can grab a newer snap on (at least the fine tooth) off ebay before I do my head studs. I don't torque much at all, but Im just really not impressed with my craftsman at all
