Leaky valve cover follow up.
Hello Mopar Family. I am using Moroso 93055 valve cover gaskets and the drivers side is leaking. I broke down and went to the Moroso site and their instructions state to secure the gasket using a cross pattern at 80-100 in/lbs of torque. I did that exactly at 90 in/lbs torque . I went for a drive and noticed smoke coming behind me as I drove. They are leaking worse than ever by a long shot and a puddle starts to form under the car when stopped. You can see in the photo that the gasket squeezed out in one spot so they are obviously too tight. The manufacturer **** the bed, so I am going with experience. What are your thoughts. Ron D
