I changed the gasket myself and it started leaking after a week. I payed a mechanic to do it again and it lasted a few months. Now its leaking again and I noticed it looks like the gasket is pushed out in some areas? I have never seen a gasket push out like this before. The mechanic did use gasket sealer on the gasket when he installed it the second time. The PVC valve was changed before this happed so I don't think that's the problem. The truck is a 92 with only 65K on it and it runs great and has the I-6 4.9L engine. Does anybody have any idea of why this would happen? I hate to change it another time if it's going to do to the same thing again and blow out. The gasket I have been using is the feel-pro blue gasket. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
