Now that the valve head is clean, and the old gasket removed from the cover, install your new gasket into the cover. this may take a bit to figure out, because its all twisty and weirdly shaped.

make sure to press the gasket into the little ridge thats on the cover, especially at the corners where the cover is rounded.

Once you have installed the new gasket on the valve cover, you also want to apply atb sealant to the corners that are shaded in the picture, on the valve head. as you can see, I started putting on the sealant in the picture. Make sure to coat the whole corner, so that it will not leak, which is a quite common occurence. BE careful when you squeeze the tube, so that you dont have a blow-out on the bottom of it like I did... though i found it easier to stick a clean finger into the blow out, and then just goop it onto the head from there
