[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 431698, member: 18789"] The valve cover bolts are never tight if a cork gasket was in use. As soon as they torque them, the gasket compresses soon after and the bolts lose all torque. Causes lots of leaky headaches, don't know how the cork gaskets were ever considered to be a good idea. The rubber gasket you can torque to stock spec or tighter and it won't really matter as the rubber is very hard and will retain torque on the bolts excellently. I never had a leak once I switched to the same gasket you used (the blue one). [/QUOTE]
