    Hi!

    Anybody experience there valvecovers start to leak? Mine is starting to have wet spots on the edges.

    does the whole engine need to pulled out when we change the gaskets?


    Thanks

    I am not sure I would fix this right away when gasket arrives.
    It seems minor leak and won't affect any casual driving for a while.
    I am also worried about potential bolt damage when they remove the head cover.
    Engine out job? then no, I won't fix it until I decide whether I keep the car when 812 GTS arrives.

    new car ...and has a leak.
    maybe they need to be torqued better.

    I thought those bolts are torqued by robot.
