Is it usually necessary to renew the half moon rubbers when removing the cam cover ?
When replacing them, do I need to seal them in with anything in particular?

Best to remove, clean with brake cleaner slightly roughen mating surface with emery paper clean again and use Rtv silicon(Halfords) smear a bit on both surfaces leave a while to go off 10 mins or so ,put back in to half moons and compress down when you replace cam cover and gasket....Paul J

Better still replace them with billet ally ones from Debbens, bit of RTV and they never leak. get em in black and they look smart and v close to original.
I have heard some folk say they had to file the billet caps a touch to get them to fit, but mine went straight in, may be that they have used different manufacturer from those sold by Ray Debben.
