Looking at the result, this seems like a manufacturer's defect to me, but seeing as how the engine is over 40 years old, we'll let em slide this time. 😁😁
@@erico1603 check your PCV system if that's the case. Sounds like you might have excessive crankcase pressure. The washer and nut should be enough to prevent the normal 5-10psi of pressure from doing this.
@@doomsdaydiesel you're the man. When I attempted to seal the tube/elbow piece that blows off the canister into the lower part of the air filter housing, I got a little carried away with the rtv. It was blocked just enough to cause pressure within the valve cover. My 83 300d is new to me. In decent shape but has the typical things wrong with it and I am sorting them out. Thanks for the vids.
Thanks for making the video. I don't understand why Kent want to charge someone, for showing how to do this.🤔

Köszönjük!
Thank you 👍
I can't believe i spent $5 bucks to see Kent Bergsma explain this lol
😄
Awesome Joe, thank you for sharing!
Do you use silicone on these covers or no?
No
How do you know how much material you need to remove?
Enough so it doesn't bottom out on the head
9nm is only 6.6 ftlb and you said spec was 10-13. Thats not lower end that is just out of spec
I will add that you should not remove to much material. Oil will blow up past the nut if you do....
Anyone selling a valve cover?

Or maybe I can now put gasket washers underneath the nut to keep the oil from coming up and past the nut.
