Debbie/French Blue asked a question about blocking off the vacum ports from the 
carbs to the valve cover and noted that he had some seepage of oil around the 
valve cover gasket.
   
  My experience has been that the vacum from the carbs will reduce the air 
pressure inside the valve cover which rshould help reduce the seepage of oil 
from around the valve cover.  Therefore I would think that blocking off the 
vacum ports from the carbs to the valve cover would tend to increase the 
seepage around the valve cover.  YMMV.
