    82 Gs850l valve cover questions

    Should there be silicone behind chrome valve cover caps

    #2
    Do you mean silicone instead of the rubber half moons? Probably not. But I have seen were some guys will use silicone rtv to hold the half moons in place for installation purpose.

      The whole cap was full of rtv. I think someone tried to cover up a leaky valve cover gasket.

        Pull out all of the RTV
        But a new valve cover gasket and the 4 half moons
        Clean all surfaces
        adjust the valves and reinstall all gaskets. Torque to spec
