Mine has since started leaking now. I sort of feel like taking off the valve cover for other reasons, so I'm not concerned about the old gasket disintegrating into the engine (since I'll remove it).
I did the valve adjustment 1.5 years ago and I bought a new gasket and fasteners, can I reuse the fasteners if they are only 1.5 years old? I know people replace them because the plastic washers get worn, but I don't want to spend the money if I don't need to.
