After doing a valve adjustment on my "loaner" 2.0, I installed the valve covers with brand new cork gaskets. Fired the car up last night and the passanger side cover leaks like someone opened a faucet. Is there a sure fire method to insure the gasket does it's job???
Could my cover be tweaked? |

Has anybody tried that PP techical artical "914 valve cover modification" where you spot weld a 1/4" strip of sheet metal on the inside of the valve cover to help support the gasket all the way around? Or would there be more of a chance of warping the cover when welding? Just want to throw around some other ideas.
