Well, another question for you in my qwest to get my old 233 cu. in running well again. This time my question is, how do I get the valve cover gasket mounted to the head and not end up with an oil leak after a test drive. Sounds pretty simple but I have gone through 3, yes 3 gaskets and still cannot get a good seal. I have tried both sides dry, one side with a Permatex gasket sealer and both sides with gasket sealer, still I have leaks. I have checked the valve cover for straightness and flattness and have gone over the top of the head as well looking for high and low spots. And the two hold down bolts have been torqued to 2 1/2 pounds each time. Thank you again, I welcome any suggestions, directions, clues or secret methods that you have found to be successful.
