8V valve cover gasket AGAIN YES AGAIN AGAIN
#14
1: not overheated.
2: real Felpro not counterfeits.
3: not using wild additives ot the oil, that could damage seals.,etc.
4: no huge vacuum in the crankcase. (or huge blow-by but BB that would force the seal outward, not inward)
5: may be it needs to be glued "RTV" in to top of valve cover, ive been force to do that on cars for 50 years, with tin covers. (stamped steel it is)
6: exceeding "3.0 - 3.5" foot/lbs torque will do just this, it bends the tin, and causes the gasket to (move)

i've seen many VC cover, that are very dirty and i find that that the gasket creeps.
so i clean this VC cover grove so it is clean is dinner plate, and free of all oil, grease, etc.
then i glue the gasket to the cover.
install it with 3 ft./lbs, (36 inch/lbs) and it cures overnight. and will never creep again,
done many British sports cars from 60s; like that, and were all cured. (they too love to creep.)
The G16b never does this, just the G1xA engines. with steel covers, the FSM just says, reverse above....... bla bla....
