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

I can't read the Pelican article. They have some bouncing advertisement that continues to block all the directions. Anyone else have that issue?
 So, if I may ask. What does this modification do? It can't stop leaks, the welded in tab does not cover the complete cover. Does it assist in holding the gasket during installation? seems extreme for that, but I will say that I have had one slip out. Man does that baby leak when a gasket is wedged in there sideways. |
