Default Re: Valve cover leak...

Here are pictures of the breather covers installed. The Permatex Ultra Grey Gasket Maker looks a little 'cleaner' on the car than the typical black product. You'll notice that there isn't much excess showing along the sealing edges. That's because I only filled the trough on the breather covers with sealing material, rather than put a heavy bead all around. Used my small pocket knife to sorta level off the sealing trough where necessary. Did the same around the mounting hole areas where sealer was needed. I don't feel it's necessary to use much more.

You'll also see where the carbon steel SHCS's are installed where the aluminum Torx SHCS's normally are used.

So far so good,
