Chris,
I should also add that I borrowed an idea from SteveF and used some spreaders from Autozone and longer valve cover bolts in those locations in my effort to avoid future leaks. I cut clear tubing to cover the ends of the speaders to avoid metal to painted metal contact.

ubject: [GMCnet] Valve Covers
I popped off my leaky valve covers today. No gaskets. Just a thin line of RTV on
he inside and outside edge of the mating surface.
o wonder they leaked. The RTV was crusty by the crossovers.
realize this is common today, but did GM do this back in the 70's or do you
ys think this was done by someone else. Was this another of GM's ahead of it's
me engineering?
he Felpro set I got is nice and thick like the diesel pan gasket set, just
thout the metal.
hat is everyone here doing?
