Is this oil on my intake and where does it come from?
would magnum covers on LA heads have less chance to leak?
so here is a thought, with those five extra holes in there, and the oulines cast into them to reach the bolts, the magnum covers look to be a whole lot more flex resistant then the LA unitsMost LA small block owners will be familiar with this problem. It doesn't seem to matter what gasket material you use, it's often a crapshoot whether they leak or not.
Overtightening the valve cover bolts can exacerbate the issue.
This drama is pretty much non-existent on the later Magnum small blocks. More bolts.
