valve cover gasket

I think there are 2 to 3 rubber gaskets on each side.....I bot 'em, but didn't replace them....they're just hard to get at....scratched hands, etc. ....there is a thread about how to get the VC out once unbolted..........I did Beav trick fix....didn't do much at first ....but somehow seemed to tighten VC over time ???

He recommends trying to tighten.....by unloosening one VC bolt at a time...then replacing with o-ring between head of bolt and "washer"....this puts a little more pressure on VC to squeeze gaskets with the added thickness of o-ring between bolt head and washer.....YOURS MAY BE TOO FAR GONE....BUT THIS IS EASY TO DO...JUST A FEW O-rings.....you might want to try

GOOD LUCK!
