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? |

I welded a strip around the inside of mine. I welded it around the entire perimeter, making a chanel for the gasket to sit in. This reduced sepage alot. I think the extra lip helps to keep oil from entering between the gasket face and head surface. It was definitely a step in the right direction in my opinion.
