Re: Syn oil issues

[Richard Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I dunno, oil leaks seem pretty common on rebuilds. My
valve covers are a problem for one. They get bent up
over the years and it seems no matter how hard you try
to get them straightened out they still want to leak.
I did get some new gaskets that seem a little thicker
and I used sealer on them so for now I don't see the
leak at the rear corners. Of course I bet those new
finned aluminum valve covers that Gary P sells
wouldn't leak. They are much stiffer and should sit
flatter. (I'm talking about the Poly engine here.)
