valve cover oil leak, any body with this?
hi guys, i found 2 oil leaks...one is to RH valve cover of my engine, and the another one is from aluminium oil pan(ouch).
I will replace the valve gasket this weekend any suggestion?? or someone with this problem before??? (for my luck, i have already remove the upper manifold, etc, so i know how to do it, and save 178 box for ir)

My left bank valve cover gasket is leaking too. I wish I had known that when I installed my VI. Oh well. I may replace it. Let me know how yours goes and good luck. Are you gonna get a valve job while you have the valves off the car? Make sure you scrape all the old gasket material off and that the two surfaces are completely clean and square/level.

Not really sure, are they washers under the bolts that hold the valve cover? Where'd you read/hear about them. If I get a chance, I'll dig my FSM (factory service manual) out and post what it says.
