My vave cover gaskets are leaking so I thought I would replace. When I removed the valve covers, they seem good, albeit a little brittle. Is that a sign they need replaced? Any prep I should do to the mating surfaces? The old ones seem to be glued into the valve covers - what should I use to seal them?

Everytime you set valves on a T4, which I always did every 5K miles at lest for the first 125K miles. The gaskets are cheap enough to consider as part of routine maintenance, and leaky ones drip right were you dont want it, on the exaust where it always stinks...
