Default Here we go again....tomorrow.

So I got my new VC gaskets in, the double thick metal core ones from Felpro. $45 VC gaskets, dam things better work.

Anyway, just picked up a fire extinguisher seriously. So tomorrow I'll take it out and see if problem's solved.

Finger's crossed. Then it's off to the exhaust shop to finish the job.

Just came up from buttoning everything up....just have to jump in tomorrow and turn the key.

I'm fairly certain it will work. I used right stuff on the VC side, just as a precaution...can't hurt.

I'm going to be driving with 911 on the phone and my finger on the send button.....

I think these thicker gaskets will do it. That's something I'd typically do,get the better ones in the first place, I went for the stock ones thinking they'd be "enough".

Good luck, John. Let us know how she runs, I am very interested in which valve cover gasket you used.
