When I last checked/adjusted the valve clearances, I needed a 2 x 4 and hammer to get the covers off.  Needless to say, the gaskets get munched up but I put it all back togeter with the aid of some liguid gasket. 

My next check is coming up and I'm going to replace the gaskets after i scrape the old boogered up ones out.  What's the best route to take with the replacements; a little RTV silicone on one side and a little schmear of oil on the other?  A little oil on both sides as old Beemers do?

I use oil on both sides.
No leaks and no more ruined gaskets

Wheel bearing grease on both sides.

Shoot- that's a good idea!  It's good we had this talk.
