[QUOTE="Slammed, post: 264910, member: 3975"] Ozzie, the ONLY thing to use on rockers is genuine rocker covers and clips, cork gaskets and NO sealant - put them on dry and as long as the gasket is sitting properly they shouldn't leak. If they do you can bend the clips a bit to get more squeeze. They should be a bitch to get on, lever them with a screwdriver. If you can do it by hand they won't seal. Plus chrome clips and covers tend to expand with heat and then leak again, and bolt up rockers are totally uneccesary too. In my experience a breathing problem in the engine is more likely to leak out from behind the bottom pulley, possibly a blocked breather, but shagged piston rings can also cause blowby and hence oil leaks.
