Okay, seems I have some oil leaking from the valve covers. The engine has new valve covers and seals. Installed dry. One thing I did notice -- and this may be the issue -- is that it appears that the valve covers were spray painted black. The entire cover. Would this [thin] paint compromise the integrity of the seal? I have the necessary tools to remove the paint if that's the issue. Or do the seals need Gas-A-Cinch or other sealant on them? If so, which side (head side or cover side)?
TIA again! |
