<VV> >Oil Issues

[Ray Rodriguez III]

Something has got to be wrong.  Have you removed it completely to check it 
out?  I imagine you would have noticed any major defect before installing so 
my guess is that the gasket must have moved out of place before you got the 
cover bolted on.  Which type gasket are you using?

Hey All,

I have a different oil issue. I'm just getting my rebuilt '65 110 ready to 
run,
had electrical problems that I think I solved yesterday, but I've noticed 
that
since I began cranking it over and having it run for a few minutes, I've got 
a
significant oil leak out of the right side valve cover. I put the Clark's
aluminum finned covers on, using their gasket, too. I used no glue or sealer 
of
any kind and I've torqued the bolts down (all SIX of them) twice, but it
continues to leak. Any ideas? Should I replace the gasket and use some 
"sticky"
this time? Help!
