So my valve cover is leaking prety bad due to a missing rear bolt and an old, dry-rotted gasket. Got a nice new rubber one that i think cost ENTIRELY too much, so the leak is all under control. My question is what else, if any, should or could i do while im under the valve cover to help maintain my aging 90?

I just did my VC to ,I had to loctite the bolts , because they worked lose . so keep a eye on them .PS i used a cork gasket it was only 5 bucks an sealed it to the cover . so if i had to take it off i didn't need a new one. just make sure your oil return holes are clean. an clean the baffles to.

How much did you pay for it? I got a fel-pro with the rubber grommets for $30 or so, but that was at a discount.

dam..i thought i paid to much for my rubber fel-pro gasket..i guess not. i got it for 22 bucks.. i guess i lucked out. and i would never get a cork one. id rather spend the extra money and feel better about my decision.

i like cork better silicone it up to cover then silicone the cork .let it set-up to dry then install it won't move then.
