I'm replacing valve cover gaskets and there a bead of something over the VTC solenoid adjacent to the inside of the valve cover. The bead is uncompressed and came loose on the driver side. Liquid gasket? I haven't been able to find any reference to this bead. It looks to create a channel that the valve cover gasket sits in. This is the first time the covers have been off.
Thanks
