Be sure to inspect the valve covers and the sealing surface for flatness, gouges, dings, or pitting; all that could cause leaks. I’ve had to resort to adhesive and/or RTV for last resort for leakers, but I don’t like to do it. If you use RTV you don’t want to over do it and get it inside the engine.
I’ve also added extra gaskets tabs to hold the gasket in place. 914Rubber sells gaskets that are just a little thicker, which are nice. |
