Good!  That is what it is supposed to do, Nag at you.  <grin>  However, I use 
a modified  version of it on my race  motors. I cut threaded rod to the 
correct length and install it tightly into  all four valve cover hold-down threaded 
holes on the head. I have tall 1/4-20  nuts (about 1" tall) with the ends 
cross-drilled for safety wire. After  installing the valve cover - with the 
gasket glued in place in the cover - I  tighten the nuts and safety wire pairs of 
nuts across the top of the valve  covers. They never leak and never loosen up, 
until you want to replace  them or adjust the valves.  - Seth
 



Just when I think I'm doing things right Seth comes along and raises the  
bar!  Maybe if I do the same thing it will make my cars go faster?
