[GMCnet] getting the darn valve covers to not leak [message #209525]

Got any tips for sealing the valve covers? Can't
seem to keep the oil on the inside. I tried installing
thicker gaskets, and also hammering the bolt holes
on the cover flat (from where the bolts had deformed
the sheet metal). I thought about RTV, but want
to be able to still remove them in future.

So what works? Or are leaky valve covers just part
of the "charm"...

thanks
