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? |

Glue the gasket to the cover Mikey. After you get the bail clip on.. make sure to pull the cover back down. When flipping the clip back up it send the cover too high on the head. You must physically pull it back down.
Also: Make sure that all of your hoses are connected to the air cleaner for the breathers. B |
