Valve Gasket

Hello,

I replaced the spark plug O-rings and valve gasket today. But, I wasn’t sure if the gasket was suppose to be showing like this after I tighten the bolts?

So far, there hasn’t been any oil leaks. Should I try to find a thinner gasket? Thanks!

There are notches in the valve cover that indicate the orientation of the gasket. Take it off and verify that it is installed correctly.

If you follow the space on the valve cover where the gasket is supposed to sit you will see that there are spots that differ. Match those spots with the spots on the gasket.
