Ok, I just got the rebuild done tonight, fired right up..(smokes a bit?????normal for first time??????) but I have a TON of oil comming out my plug holes...I a pretty sure that grey gasket is ok,,,,should I rtv the crap out of them? (only the 1st and 2nd cyl are doing this, the other two are ok)

probably just the tube gaskets or whatever they are.....not a big deal... pick them up at chrysler or mitsu dealer

Sounds like your O-ring gaskets...cheap and easy fix.

When you replaced the valve cover gaskets, do you do a REAL good job cleaning off the head and spark plugs holes, because if you dont they will leak like a sieve

Yeah, also don't forget to tighten them down in the proper sequence to the proper torque settings. I've heard that not doing that will make em leak.

Damn sparkplug gasket are a bitch to put in when you try to put the valve cover back on off the gaskets go, I swear when I replaced mine I feared that the gasket came out when I put the cover on and a geyser of oil would shot up ahaha I'm sooo paranoid O_o

I used a little RTV on the spark plug gaskets to hold them into place when placing the valve cover on. :)
