RatTrap,care to wager on your oil leaking assumption???  The gap was miniscule,contrary to what some of you were thinking!  But,everyone's entitled to their opinion! So...how much on our wager???  Remember though, I am on a budget!   Respectfully, RandyB 
Randy, I'll back your wager! You'll be fine.

I hope ur project seals good as oil leaks are a pain, I roll under the rule,If u think it will fail it prob will,so do it right before it happens. Keep us updated after a good road test. This is the best rtv that i have found RTV

Bill,unfortunately,the vc gasket that leaked was one of Greg's! I just snugged it..not over-tightened whatsoever!!! Maybe he has some advice!???
RandyB, hear there is a valve cover leak issue with one side.
Is the other side ok and not leaking?
Check your valve cover for flatness in the area of the leak.
Don't be afraid to tighten the bolts, it's not cork and won't squish out as easy.

I like the cork gaskets designed to swell and fill the void. If the gasket is sliding when ur snugging the bolts u have all ready failed

Good luck with that ... lexan has a lower melting point than your engine's operating temp. I've seen S/S hemi cars with small windows on the valve covers which are fine due to the small area and where they are but putting a window in the valley is asking for trouble. There's a reason you don't see anyone else doing this and it isn't because you're the first to have the lightbulb go on!
