The combination of those re-pop covers and cheap gaskets make for a bad
combination. I just use the "right stuff" as the only gasket. Works great.

Subject: Brand new leaky rocker covers


Hi all,


So, while replacing the exhaust system a couple weeks ago I also replaced
the rocker covers, with new cork seals, as one of them was leaking. Thing
is, now both covers have slow leaks, yay!


Anyone run into this? Tried bending clips to get as tight a seal as I could,
and made sure the seals are contacting properly. Ideas?
