So me and my friend had a stupid idea to try and color my valve cover. So after the deed was done we drove it from Garland to Dalllas and when we got to the destination the engine was smoking and we tried to put oil in again so we could get home. Then we got home it ran out of oil again. My question is, what happened to make it go like that?

another thing is that when we put the valve cover back, we didn't put any sealant so is it the reason why the oil was leaking? this is my first car with no experience what so ever so please forgive my stupid questions.

Alldatapro told me to FIPG or rtv the half moon humps on the head when I installed the camshafts. I didnt use any on the valve cover gasket or the twenty times Ive had the valve cover off since. Ive reused the gasket so many times but it still seals perfect everytime. |
