I have recently changed the rocker cover gasket due to oil seeping from it and down the front of the engine , but the other day I noticed its doing the same thing and from the same spot!?

the 3 bolts on the top of the cover are at their limit, and cant be tighened any further, Has anyone any ideas?

a friend told me the rocker cover might have a slight twist in it, do you think this is possibe?

I was also thinking of getting some instant gasket and putting a bead off it on each side of the rubber gasket b4 fitting... recommended or not?

Thanks guys

btw its a 1.4 8v 1998
