[QUOTE="DSG2003Mach1, post: 16609809, member: 16477"] theres a little rubber donut gasket that goes valve cover at the bottom of each spark plug tube, when they fail you get a spark plug tube full of oil. If the plug is fully seated there's no explanation Im aware of for a hurt cylinder to push oil in there. The driver side VC kind of sucks to pull in the car but can be done. Get a FelPro valve cover gasket kit - itll have the valve cover gasket and donuts. You also need some black RTV where it meets the timing cover. The valve cover gaskets seem too big but they arent, you have to push it in against itself. also jumping back to a previous post - you do NOT need ported and polished heads to make 600hp on pump gas with a D1. I was told by my tuner and builder I was far better off to up the boost a tad if needed vs the money in a port and polish job. With 10:1 I made 640 on 14psi on 93 (13-14 degrees of timing). On E85 and 15#s it made 715 (18-19 degrees of timing). If anything I'd get the heads cleaned up and gone through - seals, guides, valve job if needed, if you wanted to to 8 thread inserts that'd be the time too. Lastly if you have a single bolt tensioner timing cover and go built motor I would highly recommend changing to the 3 bolt tensioner cover and save yourself a ton of headaches. I've kicked my own ass repeatedly for not doing it either time my motor was out [/QUOTE]
