Valve cover leaks profusely. Tried many things.HELP
So I started by simply painting the valve cover, then I stupidly left the old gasket on which immediately leaked on all sides. I then replaced it with an OE cork set with the RTV pieces for the cam ends. It only leaks from the intake manifold side now, but a lot is being lost. When I installed the new gasket I used non silicone gasket sealant and attached the gasket to the cover first, cleaned off the head to a shine, re-applied and hand tightened the nuts to hand tight on a ratchet. What have I done wrong? Thanks!
