I recently adjusted the valves and put new valve covers on my bug and now I have a leak around the fron corner of one of my valve covers. What happened? What can I do?
probably the gasket slipped or the bolts need to be tighten more but just snug them down.
I accept as true with air cooled yet would upload this- Re-torque the heads and rocker palms earlier you re-alter the valves. be confident to alter this all with the engine chilly.The gas pump in this is electrical powered and does not have a splash ball and is no longer low priced to swap. I doubt it extremely is suited. generally the coil is sweet or no longer yet verify this run it interior the ineffective of night and look on the engine merely to establish to do no longer see any leakage of modern-day any the place. If there is an argument you will see sparks around the coil or wires.
For clip on valve covers it best to add some tension to the wire bails. You can do this by slightly bending the centers inwards. Also a light coat of Permatex ultra gray on both sides of the valve cover gasket works great. When you replace the valve cover gasket, the services it rides on on must be very clean. So pop off your covers and perform the steps above and you should be fine. Here is a link to a video we made on valve covers.
new seals + get rid of the cheapo chrome repros and put OEM covers back on.
