Repeat that to the front and back edges of your intake manifold to double check your sealer bead integrity. Again check the distributor shaft hole at the base of the distributor and that oil pressure switch back there. Did you install a new paper "O" gasket on the distributor shaft hole between intake and distributor? I still would not rule out the valve cover gaskets since you can't run a finger along the bottom of the edge against the intake side unless you just installed those brand new when you did the intake and used a quality rubber set such as Fel-Pro not shitty cork ones. I don't trust cork gaskets for anything. All I use is rubber Fel-Pro. Your other option as I mentioned is UV leak detector dye. Doesn't the L98 oil fill cap have an o-ring that seals against the valve cover? I have not used valve covers with a cap for years so I don't remember what the stock cap had. But I've seen these become flat and brittle and leak on many cars and all it took was a new o-ring (or new cap if seal is not sold seperately) to stop the leak past the cap. |
