I tied a thread around the bolt to not loose it to reinstall, or was it the tool, I forget. Well, 3 for 3 is too many times to replace the same valve cover gasket. I'll be all over the Chrysler warranty folks to find out why these gaskets keep failing. How freakin bad could those mechanics be. They are trained and they CF trained. I did have breather covers resealed one time thinking it was valve covers. I am aware of the aluminum one time use screws. However, this time, I had spots from dripping fluid under the CF. I did not believe that valve covers could leak (or seep) that much to actually have fluids hit the floor.
