Ok all you smart Datsun Roadster folks and folkets. I am just about had it
with my leaky valve cover on my 1600. I have to use 2 gaskets so the
rockers don't hit the cover. I have used enough silicone on this thing to
own stock in Dow Corning. Has anyone come up with a good fix for this
problem? I have even cut a 1/4 inch thick piece of aluminum the shape of
the gasket and glued it to the cover - help a little but still leaks. One
problem I see with the cover is it spreads at the base when the bolts are
tightened. I thought about building a horse shoe shaped bracket to go over
the cover and down the sides to minimize the spread. I could also build a
ring to go around the cover on the outside at the base. I hate to see my
Mobil 1 oozing onto the floor.
Ideas?
