I just put new valve cover gaskets on my GL1100, and no more drip!. Igot tired of oily shoes.
I tried using sealant on the old ones, and the leak always came back. I was surprised how much the new ones compressed during install. The olde ones were stiff and has taken a set. Before, the bolts were easily tighted to the shoulder, and with the new ones it was not so easy. Do yourself a favor, get new seals!
My $.02 forwhat it's worth ($.02 I guess.....)
