Valve Cover



Seepage out of the valve cover is common. To fix it, get yourself a new valve cover gasket, and carefully replace it. Note: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE VALVE COVER SCREWS! Your valve cover will crack, and they are not cheap to replace.

Torque for the valve cover bolts is only 2-3 ft.-lbs. If you're not sure how much this is, use a low-torque (in.-lb.) torque wrench.
