NorCal720xx Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hey guys, Just finishing up valve adjustment, checking head bolt torque and new valve cover seal/gasket. The seal came with the to semi circle plugs but when I installed they stick up above the machined top of the head about 1/16". They nest nicely into the semi circle of the head; they just stick up enough that I'm not convinced a adequate seal will be made the prevent leaks. Is this normal? Thanks for the input. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 They are soft enough to crush down for a tight seal when the valve cover is tightened down. I would put a small smear of RTV on the semi circles. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
