I used fish tank silicon on my garden fountain several months ago. No leaks yet.

This is probably a hoax to make everyone sound like idiots. I don't have the cash to gamble on my rig. 3 unused tubes of rtv stored with rotella, Lucas fuel additive and tranny fluid.

Ace quote.
And just to stay on topic, I've heard the valve cover isn't even necessary, removing it helps lubricate all engine components.


This thread needs buried before someone mistakes it as common sense or advice

Oh your engine block cracked? no worries i have an extra roll of scotch tape to fix that! oh no no no. You dont need a valve cover. I just put some cardboard over mine and sprayed some sprayable duct tape on there!

Did you know:
You can add an egg to a leaky radiator?
Sawdust to an auto trans that is slipping?
Tinfoil wrapped around blown fuse?
