I hadn;t seen what that sealent was before you showed me it, assumed was the right thing.
I used a copper silicone sealent when i did mine by loctite, as mentioed some people grind the lugs down a little but i didnt need to myself

I just bought the wrong stuff. Got some new stuff now, same as your copper stuff but its black. I have just resealed them so will give it another go tomorrow. Worried that some of the crap will have got mixed in with what oil is left now.

How did you *attempt* to seal them?
When you take them off, make sure all the left over sealent is taken off the cam ladders and the bottom of the cam covers. Use some fine wet and dry paper or whatever, to make the surface nice and smooth and clean. You can get a gasket sealent from Halfrauds. Just make sure it's one that works up to a decent temperature, but 99% will be fine as that area doesn't get really hot. Probably no hotter than 170c at a guess...
Make sure you put more oil in before turning the engine over!!!

I did it the right way toad,just bought the wrong stuff to seal it with.The new stuff I have is fine upto 275c so should be ok. And I wont forget to put more oil in it.
