Hey Danno, It was the valve cover gaskets. I don't know why, but it always seems to need two gaskets. I've checked the length on the bolts, and they aren't too long! She's runnin" great too! :burnout:

What VC gaskets do you use? I've always used the blue rubber Felpro valve cover gasket with good success. I can't see doubling that specific gasket, so I assume you're using something different?

I have LA covers and RTV'd the blue Felpro rubber gasket to the bottom of the covers...One less mating surface to worry about

I'd try using the blue Felpro ones. They use a little softer rubber that has always sealed good for me.
