This has been my biggest problem with my conversion and I feel pretty stupid about it. I have tried over and over to get my 2.8 to not leak at the valve covers and have redone the oil pan once since my original rebuild and still have leaks. Unfortunatly searching the word "OIL" on the forum will not work because it is only 3 letters. I am sure there must be a few threads on this topic! Since it is raining hear for the next 4 months I think I can find the time to tackle this issue and get it ready for nest season... maybe even the Invation! If I am the only one who can't seal an oil pan and valve covers... be sure to really let me have it, but I hope you include your remedy! As always, Thanks!
