Valve Adjustment = new screw gaskets?
My clymer's manual mentioned this... the 4 phillips head screws on the cylinder head cover have these little washer like gaskets... Clymer's said that these little gaskets need to be replaced each time they are removed. Has anyone actually done this every x miles when this adjustment is performed??Tags: None

Nope, I've never done it. It's like the recommendation to replace the crushable metal washers on your spark plugs (if you've unscrewed the plugs and are putting them back): great in theory, but in the real world no one bothers.
If a little oil ends up weeping from around the screw heads, just use a smidgeon of silicone gasket goop. Should be fine after that.
Mike.
