Glad you said that as i have just finished peeling the old instant gasket off the one I took off, it was everywhere and the reason I had to ask the question. Thanks(y)

A 'bit' of instant gasket isn't a bad thing - you use it to hold the rubber in place when you invert the cover to fit - especially important round the 'mickey mouse ear' gaskets round the plug holes as many leaks occur this way when gaskets displaced - you can't see if they've moved till the oil drips out by the exhaust!

Just be careful with the rubber washers. If they compress from age they don't seal well. Being that it's a shouldered bolt, extra tightening to stop a leak will shockingly easily pull the threads out of the cam cap. I learned the hard way.
