OK, the covers are back on. The lower front corner on the right cover was very tight clearance, with the gasket hitting the cam holder as I pushed it on. I kept checking the gasket as I maneuvered the cover on, and it appeared to stay in the cover groove even though the red spray on Pernatex "hi-tack" sealer was not so hi-tack in my opinion. I got underneath the car and can see the gasket edge in-place. I may have lucked out. Need to put all the obstructing pieces back on and fire it up.
Thanks everyone for the input!

Wow, and here I thought I was having a tough time just because I was such a newbie. Seeing someone who has as much experience as Bill have a tough time makes me feel good about having the same problems.
I was going to post what I did, but it has all already been answered.

928abd..............how do you think most of us got so proficient?.............doing the work and contributing to Rennlist.
Some of us are just further ahead on the curve from time and experience. Some of us are still learning...........much!

The thing is that I can barely hold a wrench myself, and often wonder what a screwdriver is for. I learned everything I know about the 928 from reading Rennlist. Now I can spew info as if I be an expert!
Truth is that, like Bill, my car has just been wonderful. It's had a few things like the AC conversion, but otherwise everything has pretty legitimately come under the "maintenance" heading. I can do maintenance stuff all day and not cry about it at all.
I do have fun woking on others' cars too, though. Gotta learn this stuff someplace!

Use Porsche's newest sealant "Drei Bond" in the corners. It looks very much like silicone....and probably is some variant of this, but it is very different! It has some very interesting properties...but the fact that it cures faster when oil is present makes it very desireable for this job! Porsche part number 000 043 203 73. BTW...Porsche Motorsports doesn't use Loctite 574 any longer...they use Drei Bond to assemble crankcases.

Bill:
FWIW on the o-ring like gaskets, you can also try Curil-T- as a non-drying sealant to hold formed seals during installation. I have used Curil-T- on several similar installs seals, like the valve covers.
When pulled apart months later, the Curil-T- is still not hardened. This is a nice trait for seals / gaskets needing to stay pliable.
FWIW, I have a tube if you want to try some...
$0.02
