Valve Cover Gaskets (again)

Post by hrafn »

On the way home from the East Coast MV Rally I noticed a little smoke and
upon arriving home (well, actually the next day), found that the valve cover
gasket on #2 was leaking again. Same symtoms as each of the last two
time this happened.

It is always a lower corner. This particular valve cover has little sharp nubs
to help hold the gasket in place. This time I used Indian Head Gasket
Shellac to glue the gasket in place on the valve cover. We'll see how long it
lasts this time.

BTW, the rally was great and the Pinz won a prize in the vehicle judging.
