I've got to echo the suggestion on "bonking" the valve cover. With a new gasket in place and all the bolts too, move the cover around on the engine while it is still running. When you find a spot where it is quiet, tighten her down. You only need a whiskers width of clearence, y' know.....Russ _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
