Blog back track - Valve cover gasket, oil leak fix - 12/25/2011
Had a weeping bank 1 VCG, was quoted ~$700 at the shop, read up on it, bought gasket at Pelican for around $40. Stripped one of the valve cover head bolts when replacing a grommet, bought a Timesert M6 kit $60, helicoiled the hole, replaced VCG over a couple of afternoons, no more oil leaks, not a single drop!
