Leaking Valve Cover Gaskets
« on: February 13, 2013, 11:53:37 pm »
Ok, so like I said just rebuilt motor not to long ago. Now it hasnt been ran in a long time, so my question is does not running your motor regularly cause gaskets to degrade faster? My cover gasket is pour oil out and running down the headers.

Generally if not retorqued the valve cover bolts can wiggle free, what type of gasket material did you use?
