i have a leak on the front of that valve cover and the oil is going down to the headers,,how can i fix the problem.?how do i install da gasket do i need any special things??thanx for tha help
Probly need a new gasget for the valve cover, not a big job to do, just make sure when you take the valve cover off that its done in a clean dust free environment BEFORE you take out the spark plugs out make sure no dust or dirt can fall down the holes into the cylinder. Use a hover if necessary as when you try to prise up the valve cover it may jerk, spilling dirt down into the chamber. also keep an eye on the valve cover bolts and washers they tend to go missing! Then just replace the old gasget with the new one and this should solve the problem. (Dont over tighten the bolts either use a small spanner or torq wrench if availiable! )
He could have placed helicoils in to repair that. without the splendid torque the pinnacle will warp and this could actual reason the oil leak.in fact ask him why he did no longer restoration it whilst it became aside. The regulation probable calls so you might furnish him of undertaking to repair it as quickly as.you may no longer could pay for that and you may ask to work out the gaskets he would be removing to interchange returned. If he takes it aside and reuses the gaskets he purely put in there will be issues down the line.
have a new gasket install !!
