Are steel valve covers prone to leaks or a myth?
Are the steel OEM valve covers as prone to leaks as usually mentioned or is it a myth from mostly wrong installation.
Are they really that touchy if they are straight, and installed using a modern gasket and spreaders and not over torqued . Is it better to use the gaskets with the metal inserts better or is a thinner old school gasket better so they would be more flat when tightened down.
