Re: Need Valve cover gasket replacement help

Yeah, I remember when mine were leaking on the move back to Colorado; the higher the rpm's, the more steam was coming out of the engine bay. Oil was hitting the exhaust, making us look like a steam roller rollin' up I-70 - no kidding. Thought for sure it AND the boat were gonna go up in flames.

2 days later it was in the shop, cost around $250 for both Valve cover gaskets, a new valve cover (it warped), a couple new O-rings through/around the T-pipe housing - since he was there, and a new intake gasket.

So far, so good; that's been 5yrs and almost 100k miles ago.
