These valve covers WILL NOT seal - 08/28/11 05:10 PM
I need , these fab aluminum valve covers with the long 1/4-20 bolts will not seal.
When I got the car I removed the covers to check valve lash. I installed new rubber coated fiber gaskets with no sealer and they leaked. So I bought another new set of gaskets and a tube of grey RTV(this stuff seals anything). And they still leak!!!!!!!
These are iron heads, I'm not sure if the surfaces are flat or not. I've always ran valve cover studs with 440Source covers on my Dart with no sealers and no problems.
Does anybody run these covers with good luck?
