good way to check my gasket?
well i just installed the new cork gasket on my valve cover. but how can i check and see if its actually doing its job and i didnt break it somewhere... ( without taking it back off )....
|
clean all around it. go drive. them check for oil around it
|
sounds like a plan. what is the best way to tighten the very back bolt on the valve cover?
|
carefully
|
well not the answer i was really looking for. but still a good one. i mean. i cant get a rachet back there because of the firewall.
|
got swivels? i cant remember the last one i did or id tell ya what i did. sorry
|
I just took mine off and had to use swivles and a small extension

I changed my bolts out to Hex Head, Now I can use a allen wrench or hex with a 3/8 drive socket on the end (it's about 6" long) I slide it behind the wiring harness down to the hex head bolt.

I used "The Right Stuff" gasket maker as an adhesive on the cork gasket, torqed bolts until the rtv barely started to squeeze out, let it sit overnight, drove it, and snugged them up a little more. Hasn't leaked in 2 years.
