Posted March 12, 200916 yr This is for a 86 FJ1200. I am changing the gasket on the valve cover, (cylinder cover according to manual). Not the haed gasket, just the cover gasket. On the motor side right where the gasket sits, there are 8 treaded holes, however, no screws go into these holes. These holes sit directly under the gasket and are very easy to see in the manual. Some of these have somehow filled with oil, but some havn't. Should I clean the oil out of these before I install the gasket? I know its not much oil, but it seams this oil would heat up and perhaps affect my gasket in time. Also, should I use some sealant to hold the gasket to the cover so it stays in place when I flip it over to install it? Thanks for any replies.
