Planning on replacing valve cover gasket this weekend, thought it would be a good time to quiet things down some. Have always tightened until noise stops then reverse 1/2 turn. Is this safe? thanks t.g.


I don't know about "safe", but it can't be very accurate. Given the cost of a set of feeler gauges, it strikes me as a poor way of doing things.
