2009 KLX Valve Cover Gasket replacement

[North]

I am going to replace the valve cover gasket on my Daughter's 250 KLX. So I was wondering if there is anything I should know and what is a good gasket goo to use? I have a tube of Permatex 2 form a gasket sealant.

Thanks

Rick

i would replace a gasket with a new gasket if it were me. I was also introduced to permatex anarobic sealer by mr resistor on this forum. it's a gasket goo that you can use on gaskets to help them seal but not stick to the covers/cylinder heads or in a case of where you would use just a gasket type of goo by it self.It works really well, and you don't want to or need very much on the surfaces your putting together.

Thanks, and I did get a new Gasket.

It's the half moons that really need a bit of help sealing, be very slightly more "generous" there. The rest of the gasket needs just a very light layer of "goo".
