Default Re: Valve cover leak...

Bought a full set of Torx head sockets as suggested by dedwards0323. They also have a lifetime warranty even though I hopefully will never use them again.

The Ultra black sealant and the aluminium screws have also been delivered today, so I am ready to go.

My only question that requires the answer from people who have done this repair is:- The Ultra black instructions say "finger tighten......... and leave for 1 hour then torque to correct value". Is this the case as I have only found a few posts that have actually mentioned waiting the hour. What was done by the guys & girls who have done this before and repaired the leak.

Many thanks
