HELP!? leaking vavlve cover gasket(s) 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Thu May 10 08:29 CST 2001 [RELATED]

1990 740 Turbo intercooler...got it with 90,000, a gem!

The valve cover gasket leaked after some 2000 miles, exhaust side, gasket turned out to be torn from previous owner's work (schmuck).

So I replaced it, problem occurred again, but my "go-to" mechanic pointed out a misalignment at front corner. So I replaced it again, only to have it fail, yet again, with no apparent problem evident. So had him replace it, as he is quite fluent in the B230's... and, yes, it has a happened YET! again (be calm Michael).

Anybody have any suggestions and or advice on what may be causing this problem that we can account for ...such as it may not be breathing properly??? Hhhmmm...Any reponse will be greatly appreciated! Mike
