LS1 valve cover bolt leak

[madsav]

How can i stop oil from spewing out of the valve cover bolts? ive already replaced them all but still leaking like a water park

did you replace the gasket at the same time?
you could also use some silastic(auto)lol and that should seal it up

 

[madsav]

yep did the rubber gaskets at the same time , i might have to try silastic around the bolts

Did you torque the rocker cover bolts correctly? Sounds like you over tightened a bit too much?

Rocker cover bolts, LS1 - 12NM or 9ftlb

If you tighten the crap out of them, they will leak.

as big al said

 

[madsav]
