will it hurt to put a bead around the whole thing or should i stick with the small dollops in the corners?

IIRC Wurth makes something. Ask '77 911....he's always recommending their products....i think....

Just dollops. Don't make a big mess for the next guy.

You might just put a small drop at each peak or corner.

If your concerned about oil leaks up there, you might check over the crankcase pcv and the suction pump.

THe latest stuff they recommend is made by GE.

If you want to save yourself some money, go to NAPA and get a tube of Permatex black for $5. I just did my 1.8T gasket and it worked perfectly w/ no leaks at all. Only use it at the corners w/ verticals and areas indicated in manual. Don't put it all over the place as it will not seal any better and may actually be detrimental and certainly make it a pita to remove the cover next time.

I think it's more about the clean-prep than the actual sealant product. I just use Blue RTV.

tube. I blew through the PVC tube that attaches to the valve cover and it gave no resistance so I dont think I have pressure build up under the valve cover unless I have a leaky cylinder.
