Valve cover gasket is glued down from factory on the newer Saabs.
I think it started in mid 90. They removed the little indentations in the aluminum V/C that squeezed (sort of) into the o-ring gasket.
It's actually a pain to remove the gasket nowadays because of that.
It's strange with all this undertorqued head bolts, spread over so many years. It can't be just a faulty torque impact gun at the assembly plant.
And the way the head gasket is today, it have very little "give" (since it's a sheet metal gasket) compared to the older fiber gaskets with a metal reinforcement ring around combustion chamber.
