Re: Valve Cover leaks

[moparbikeguy@xxxxxxx]

Big blocks are notorious for leaking rocker covers. If you have headers, it makes the problem worse as headers "cook" the gaskets. Mopar offers gaskets for motor homes that should cure the problem. Try your local auto parts for them.

I've always used a thin skim of Permatex "Ultra Copper" on both sides 
of my VC gaskets and never had any problems. Also, don't over torque 
(obviously) and make sure the mating surface is flat @ the bolt 
holes...they tend to get pushed out may need a few love taps to be 
corrected.
