Re: IML: Valve/Head Cover Gasket question



Joe - I don't think you need the additional grommets.  Just make your your valve cover has a good flat surface for the gasket to seat to.  I have used the round end of a ball-peen hammer on the inside of a valve cover to slightly dimple the hole to the outside on badly overtightened covers.  Overtightening is the main problem with leaking valve covers.  I think about 9, yes NINE, ft lbs is all you need.  Good luch with your project.  Another Joe...
