Valve cover leak


vincer

Recommended Posts

Did a valve check, cleaned both surfaces and used a minimal amount sealant on the cover with a new gasket. Leaks at the circular head cut outs.

I should've read my manual.

It says to use sealant in that area.

How much is needed? Just a smear or an actual bead?

The oil's not under pressure. A light coating should do it. The pain is making sure they are in place. Groove everywhere else but smooth as a baby's bottom in 4 spots. :(
