[T2] Valve cover gaskets

[david raistrick]

and while these are all good ideas about leaking valve cover gaskets,
I dunno about you but when I'm on the road I dont pull the valve
covers unless I have a spare set in my hands..

nothing like being stuck because you pulled the cover and the gasket
fell apart.   a leaking gaskets is better than no gasket.
