On the way home from the Phoenix Club event, I noticed a slight aroma of burning oil. A smell by the way that I am sad to say I am somewhat familiar with. I discovered an old pretty ratty cork type valve cover casket that was slightly distorted. I decided to look up the John Rogers valve cover modification on Pelican Parts and welded up the side that was leaking. I used a new silicone gasket from 914 rubber. It looks dry so far but I haven't really driven it much since finished. Here's the tech article. A pretty easy mod. that might save ya some grief in the future. http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/9...alve_covers.htm

To do this job, I had to replace my beach chair/creeper/furniture dolly. The last one got wrecked when I lowered the lift before moving the chair. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
