if you have leaks you need to machine the lower piece like Eddie young said to stop it from traping the oil...very simple

So much for easy 2 bolt removing of the covers. :mad:

Hate to hear you have had some bad luck? I'm not sure how old your covers are? Since purchasing the company we have fixed the previous oversights and all of our 2pc Valve covers feature our latest quad seal technology. All of the Valve cover rails are machined to accept a new silicone base gasket. Which means the covers seal at the bottom, sides and screws and are all pressure checked before they leave our facility guaranteed to not leak. If your interested in new rails give us a call.

Best Regards

The covers I have are several years old. Maybe 2 years ago, after you guys took over the company, we had this same discussion. You told me to call up and order your new rails that are machined to a tighter spec. You said the problem was the original ones were too loose to seal up to the O-Ring. Some how, that was my fault because I had to pay for another set of rails. I ordered a set, put them on... Guess what... They still leaked. Now you have another set that wont leak?
