I've tried using the silicone valve cover gaskets a couple times and gave up thinking I couldn't get them to stay in place.
https://900designs.zoeysite.com/gasket-valv...h-temp-silicone So I thought I'd give it one more shot on Mike's car. After taking the valve covers off I could tell the PO had some leaking issues.  After running them thru the jet washer 3 or 4 times to most of the adhesive loose. I ran them thru the bead blaster for the final tune up. I decided I try Gasgacinch to try and hold them in place. I let them set up over night.  Left went on pretty easy. Only reset a couple time. The right wanted to creep up in the front. So I moved the mini pry bar to that end and worked slowly.   Gave the gasket a little smear of motor oil before I installed them. I'll give you an update after we fire it up on Friday. |
