valve cover issues

This problem has plagued me for a while. When i put the roller rockers in i had to do some trimming to the supports in my valve covers. This turned out to be a horrible idea cause now they leak no matter what i do. The only thing that has kind of worked it to rtv the covers to the head. Anyone else solve this issue without buying new covers?

Re: valve cover issues

I haven't done that myself. But sounds like you might need to buy some new valve covers. b/c one nick in them will make them leak no matter what.
