New Owner

[fixkick]

I installed a new FelPro valve cover gasket (no sealant on gasket) and torqued with torque wrench. I feel pretty confidant that the leak is not there but I’ll check it just to make sure.

I’ll remove the rear cam cap and use some RTV on it and re-torque per FSM.

The rocker shaft o-ring at rear of cylinder head is probably the original. Do you see any harm in applying RTV to cover the rocker shaft end? I don’t see how RTV could make its way inside engine.

Is it possible for PCV valve to malfunction letting too much pressure build up and force oil past seals in the dizzy case area?

sure RTV that sure.
you think just like, me, sure PCV stuck closed, all things are any thing leaks oil even good things.
sure.
make sure all PCV pathes at goth ends not clogged, suck side, and in the VC, there is filter up top that might clog.  or baffle there to stop oil mist sucking, to intake.
just use lips to blow both ways see if either side is clogged and PVC disk not stuck or clogged, keep open mind, here,  there are 2 PCV paths too,  the other is to intake filter pipe.  fresh air  input but if this clogged, Crank case goes to vacuum and never leaks that failure.
your doing good in this old rig, nice work !!!!!
