If it has a problem with warpage or rough surfaces you can use a high temp copper RTV on the gasket. Tighten the bolts a little at a time from the center out. I like to put grade 8 SAE flat washers under the heads of the bolts to transfer the torque better. After you warm up the engine tighten them again & once more after it has been driven a while. Like 66 says, glue the gasket to the valve cover. Tighten them the same way, a little at a time , keep going around. I like to put a little RTV on the rear edge of the valve cover gasket as that is were they tend to leak.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
