Valve over Gasket


Recommended Posts

Ok I know I am getting a little old, butttttttttt what the heck did I do wrong.I got the nice springy rubber gasket put it on and torqued it to 105 in lbs and still got a lot of leaks. Took it off and the gasket itself was broken or cut in many places. TOO TIGHT????

I think I might have solved the mystery. Do you all have the air/oil curtain on your engines? Mine did not and this probably allowed it to draw the gasket too tight when I torqued it to specs. It appears that the curtain has bumpers that would prevent the cover from going all the way. Any thoughts
