Valve Cover Gasket Differences?
Posted: Tue Jun 16, 2015 6:59 pm
Just completed my 1st official valve adjustment - no problem - but valve cover have leaked since.
I tried a few times, and checked all sorts of sites for tips etc (but chose to not use glue of any sorts) ... no dice. Tried 3 times.
Dug the old ones out of the garbage, cleaned them and put them back in ... no leaks (yet) ...
Before putting them back in, I compared old and new ... old much narrower, and seemingly different material .... or is this just shrinkage?
Any suggestions? cannot keep using these old ones forever?
