Leaking Valve Cover

Mike Rocket J. Squirrel Elliot · 2003-12-31T07:22:20+00:00

So, we've cleaned and installed new valve cover gaskets with valve cover gasket cement between the gaskets and the covers and the darn left side still leaks. More than I'd like. Someone said that it might help to replace the covers, as they may have warped over time. Worth following up on? Would new steel covers be peachy? Or something fancier, like machined aluminum?
