Where to add RTV sealant to valve covers on 7M engine
I remember reading somewhere on these forums that the valve covers need a little RTV sealant when changing the gaskets. I've searched the site for a while and still don't have a clear picture as to where the RTV should go. If I recall correctly, it's near the #1 cylinder. Does it go on both covers? Which area does it go on?
Here's a pic from my photobucket account, if possible could someone copy it and circle the area to put the RTV, then post it here?  Hope the pic isn't too big! Thanks! Trevor

I just rebuilt mine and to increase peace of mind put a very little amount around the front of each cover. In your picture go from bolt to next to Number 1 Cylinder.

In the tsrm it says to put seal pack up front next to the front cam caps. If I where you I would just put new gaskets in and make sure all the hold down bolt are tight.

Thanks for the responses everyone! That answers my question perfectly.
Now if the weather holds up this weekend I will finally get these new gaskets installed... Trevor

also if you can find them, you should get new washers(rubber and metal) since the ones on there now go totally flat
