Guys I have the drivers side valve cover off and I'm in the process of cleaning it. I know I need to put a small dab of threebond where the block meets the chains cover. Can I use some threebond to hold all the gaskets in place? when I took the valve cover off it looks like someone already tried to fix the leak but the gasket feel out of its slot and was pinched, they also tried to use silicone to stop a leak on the cam actuator. I read the way to install and torque the bolts is to 7.5 ft lbs in a crisscross pattern starting from the middle of the valve cover and work my way out.   

 

If anyone can offer any advice to make the job better and avoid future leaks I would love to hear it.

 

Once I have this one don't I will move to the passenger side.
