Re: valve cover gasket

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <josiah@gsinet.net>]

My take on this would be
1) You might just still have some left over residue
2) You don't actually want to tighten the nuts that tight
3) Did you clean off the valve cover and the top of the head before installing
the new gasket? Is your valve cover bent or otherwise messed up?
