Morning All!
I can't seem to win against the leaking valve cover. Read the articles. Took it off yesterday. Cleaned the channel thoroughly. Laid a ton of the zinc stuff folks have mentioned out here -both sides. Let it sit for most of the day. Seemed ok for the first few then started again. Not a lot. Just enough to make the header smoke -and piss me off. 1.7 with new heads. Wondering if it's pressure? Bent cover? Maybe it's not the rocker cover and it's the push rod tube? I see some weld pieces into the cover. Just a daily driver. Thanks in advance! |

Give these a try, working for me. There a bit thicker. Installed clean, and dry, no sealers.
