Blue Dragon II Aka "The Man Truck"

[70rs/ss]

I use spray addhesive on one side of the gasket and glue it to the valve cover. Permatex is a no-no on gaskets. Sounds like you learning as you go. Good work so far and keep plugging away it will get easier sfter you work on it over time. Don't hessitate to ask for help, we are here to help each other. Congrats on the wedding and thank you for your service!! I wish I was closer to help you out, to me that is what working on these things is all about the helping and passing on the tradition!!



PS toss those thin chrome valve covers, you will drive yourself insane trying to get them to seal!! Pick up a set of edelbrocks or the GM ones can be had for $40-50. I know money is tight, but the new covers will seal and you won't pull anymore hair out!!
