It's the first gasket that has sealed after re-torquing it. I first installed it with 10 ft lbs of torque.. after it started to dribble a little on one side, I bumped it up to 15 ft lbs.. No more leaks !! Hallelujah!! I'm very impressed. I bought a set of their valve cover gaskets too. I'm gonna install them soon. 1966 Satellie.. 12.55 @107.75. 906 heads. 3780 lbs.

Gasket is glued to the scraper and the rail and block get a little oil and when the pan is UNbolted the scraper falls off. Carbs get oiled as well HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!

That, oil leaking through the gaskets, is another reason I call them "Hemiroid "motors Last edited by Cab_Burge; 02/09/20 10:43 PM. Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
