I just did my valve cover gaskets over the weekend and drove the truck last night to find the driver side still leaking.
According to the book it said to RTV the cover side and then tighten down while still wet. Passenger side looks good no leakage so far, so I must have done something better on that side?
I did a star pattern tighten just till snug then half turn more. To little, to much?
I am sitting here at work stewing about it and cant stop thinking about it. Any suggestions? Maybe loosen and re-tighten?
Oh and I used Fel-Pro rubber gaskets with blue RTV.
