I just replaced the push rod cover gaskets on my 250ci. L6 about a month ago and the front one is still leaking right behind the coil. I used new gaskets and high temp RTV silicone between the covers and the gaskets. Did I miss a step or should I be putting RTV silicone on the engine and on the cover? Are there better aftermarket gaskets available (I got the cork kind from AutoZone)? Should I just get new covers? Mine don't look bad but maybe they are bent enough that I won't be able to get a good seal with them. Your input is appreciated.
On the positive side, my engine oils the bottom of the truck automatically so I shouldn't get much rust, unfortunately it also oils my garage floor
