I've replaced the valve cover gasket 7 times, the cylinder head 2 times, and the valve cover 2 times. New grommets and tube seals each time. I follow the 2gnt guide sometimes, and sometimes I just try to think logically about what might make it seal up.
My point is, my valve cover gasket has never sealed for more than a week at a time. Everytime I think it seals up it just blows out again. I've tried so many things and I'm so tired of it. It especially sucks now that it's dumping oil all over my new engine.
For now the car will stay parked until I figure out how to seal the damn thing up. That way I only have 1 large pool of oil instead of a bunch of small ones.
Yes I have verified that the valve cover gasket is the source of the leak, it is the only leak.
At this point any recommendations or suggestions are fine by me. Let's hear what you guys do or think I should do. Thanks
