[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 431485, member: 19498"] Wow, sounds like you've done your best to fix the leak. A hairline crack perhaps or just warped a bit. Hard to believe even with RTV it still leaks. Ive had great luck using nothing but RTV on old 350 valve covers and their stamped junk more less. Is the gasket staying in place with the wet silicone on it? Its easy when still slippery wet to tighten things down and the gasket with RTV slips out of place. I typically use as many bolts as holes in whatever as alignment pins while the gasket dries to the cover,pan ect. Then a 1/8 tall bead around the outer edge of the side that mates up. And dont a bead around the bolt holes. That usually seals up any gaps or imperfections in machined of corroded surfaces. Might try Collins bros in Texas for used parts or Sonnax whos been good for me in the past. You might have a factory T cooler, not sure on yours so check first. In a nutshell the stacked plate type are most desirable compared to the old school tube and fin. [/QUOTE]
