87068, Valve Cover Leaking?
Posted by clipse2g95, Mar-13-05 11:05 AM
Just this past summer I replaced my valve cover gasket and spark plug o-rings and it was good up until about 2 months ago. There isnt any major leaks like dripping or anything, but I can see oil all around the outside of the valve cover and when I take the spark plugs out, there is oil on the threads. Do you guys think that it just wasnt torqued to the right pounds or what?? Thanks, Cory

time to do it again CORRECTLY.
get a torque wrench, the gasket set including the spark plug tube gaskets and some gray RTV sealant for the corners of the cam caps.
