In anticipation of adding the ratio rockers that were a group purchase ages ago, I installed a set of aluminum valve covers from Gene Berg. I was told that these were needed to provide additional clearance for the new rocker arms. Unfortunately they leak like crazy! I can tell one problem may be that the bails provided with the new valve covers barely put much pressure compared to the stock ones. Has anyone else tried these? What is the secret to keeping them from leaking? It was nice of VW to place the exhaust directly below the left valve cover so that you can determine if they are leaking simply by smelling the burning oil as you drive down the road. Todd '88 westy
