Hi Gang!
Turbo is in and running, everything looks good so far except for the blasted CDR valve cover is leaking! I cleaned the head and cover meticulously and used high temperature permatex on the valve cover side, letting it tack before installing the new Felpro rubber gasket. I installed it on the head, evenly lightly snugged and torqued it in three steps the next day. I can't understand why it's leaking, the cover looked good and I did everything correctly. Do you think that retorquing it is worth a shot? What about pulling it and if the gasket is adhered to the cover, cleaning it and the head and using permatex on the head side as well?
Many thanks!
