Hey guys,
Well I know where the valve cover is leaking. The passenger side top front valve cover thread is stripped. I have been told the only way to fix this is to take off the head and take it to a machine where they will weld it and re tap the hole. As you know it takes a 1/4 20 bolt. I thought about a heli coil but the hole is to big for a 1/4 20.
I am hoping that someone has an easier way? since I can't snug that bolt oil comes out of the cover. There are far better minds out there than I have. Anyone have a solution. This is a tough one. Appreciate your help.
