Leaking valve covers

[WrenchWhore]

I used the Felpro black rubber ones torqued @ 96in. lbs. on my baby 1/4 torque wrench. Not a drop. I also took those little triangle guys and hammered them flat on an anvil before install. They may just need to be gone over evenly.

i fought leaks from the valve covers, warrantyied out several sets. finally had enough, and tried cork put rtv on both sides and no more leaks since. No idea why, but cork is all i use now for idi valve cover gaskets
