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? |

It's a conspiracy! "THEY" are actually making our left side gaskets thinner to save money and make us buy more Oil! - Those Bastards!
-Just kidding - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have rolled up pieces of tar paper and put two on each side, just under the clip and against the cover. It makes the cover tighter. Well, It worked once. Ask me after the next valve adjustment. -Mike D. |
