<VV> >Oil Issues

[Byron Comp]

Hey All,

I have a different oil issue. I'm just getting my rebuilt '65 110 ready to run, 
had electrical problems that I think I solved yesterday, but I've noticed that 
since I began cranking it over and having it run for a few minutes, I've got a 
significant oil leak out of the right side valve cover. I put the Clark's 
aluminum finned covers on, using their gasket, too. I used no glue or sealer of 
any kind and I've torqued the bolts down (all SIX of them) twice, but it 
continues to leak. Any ideas? Should I replace the gasket and use some "sticky" 
this time? Help!
