[alfa] Re: valve cover gasket for spider
Patrick,
You said the leak started after your mechanic did a valve adjustment job.
Check the washers under the cam cover bolts - usually there are four fiber
washers and two metal ones. The metal ones are for the rear two bolts and the
four fiber ones go under the front and middle bolts. The metal ones help put
more pressure on the rubber half-moons at the rear of the head.
If the metal ones are out of place (which is a common occurrence), the cover
will leak oil. Don't over-tighten the cover bolts!
