Re: [ihc] Flattening valve covers?

John,
 
Thanks!
 
That was a frustrating day, until I finally saw what was happening.  I doubt I would have figured it out if the engine had been in the Scout at the time.  I bent over to pick up something and happened to look at the gasket by the dizzy as my head was level with it and I could see that the silione had pulled loose, gggrrrrrrrr.  I'm just glad I found it when I did.  I don't know how they ever sealed those at the factory because the original gasket appeared to be constant thickness.
 
Take care,
 
Steve
