    Do you guys use like a silicone sealant on your engine dog house ?? I only ask because, I have old silicone around the mating surfaces, and some foam type sealer also. I just bought my "A" last august . And pull the engine .
    I can see were it would help control heat etc. But when you would need to pull the covers, sure would not be much fun..

    I used some EPDM similar to this on mine. (Adhesive on one side.)

    Available in various width/thicknesses, this link is just for general reference.
