Hello fellow ALLPAR devotees.
Been along while since I posted , especially about my 84 2.2 Reliant .
Just replaced my Valve cover gasket w/ a FELPRO "permadry-plus" unit.
tried to do everything meticolous,clean ,etc.
Trouble IS ,dang thing still leaks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oil is smoking onto the Exhaust/Intake Manifold on this P.O.S. .
I even had No-leaks stop leak in the oil change.
The only area I think It maY HAVE LEAKED is the AIR VENT breather box that houses the PCV valve.
-----this is one STRANGE PART ----- a little hard plastic BOX that Hooks /slips into a special hole on the BACK of the Valve cover.
Plus the Hole where it slips onto the Valve Cover , uses a Special Rubber /VYnal grommet the seal the interface. I suspect its oozing from there.
Anyone here ever have this Maddening experience?????
I have replaced many valve covers gaskets ,differenet makes/mfrs----this is just soo embarrassing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
adios ,STU
