I'm getting ready to do several things regarding maintenance on my Dixie Chopper with the Generac engine. I'm going to adjust the valve clearance as advised even 100 hours. I bought this mower used, so I really don't know if it had ever been done before. My question is regarding sealing up the valve covers so they will not leak oil. I have new valve cover gaskets. So do I need to put any sealant on the valve cover gaskets to assure an oil seal or just use the gasket? I haven't done this since I had my old Mercedes 300d. I reused the same gasket on the diesel and it never leaked. Not so on my old MGB. Of course, it had the old cork gaskets which notoriously leaked. Any advice would be appreciated.
