My gasket was glued into the valve cover with a grey silicone based adhesive. There was also evidence of some of the same adhesive on the head surface. It was a little work cleaning the glue out of the valve cover (I had mine powder coated), but the gasket came out OK and I used it on the loaner valve cover while mine was being powder coated. The bolt gaskets didn't do as well as the O-ring gasket. I replaced them when I put my powder coated cover back on. I believe they are rubber bonded to metal if my memory :-D is correct.
