 First off, I use a small hand vac pump and get as much oil out of the recess's, wipe all the contact surfaces with laquor thinner, blow out the threaded bolt holes, run a tap down them to make sure they are clean, put a bit of grease along the top edge of the cam tower to help hold the gasket's inplace, then attempt to place the cover on without moving the gasket, start torque'ing it down and at the same time make sure I have a uniform amount of gasket showing all around, Simple.

Then if it leaks do it all over again, No just kidding, this usaully works well for me.

I did have a thought though, if it's possible to use stud's in some of the bolt holes, that would hold the gasket's and then place the cover down over the studs, that would keep every thing ligned up correctly, it may work on the upper cover, but I dont think there is room with the brake booster to do this on the lower, just an idea, have'nt tried it myself.
