As far as the VC. You need to understand that this part of the engine is slanted. So, oil will pool and more pressure will accumulate where it pools.
As a result, the gasket by itself is not a reliable fix.
You first need a really good torque wrench capable of reading low numbers under 10#.
Next you need an OEM gasket and 1 tube of Ultra Black.
Once you get the VC off and cleaned up;
1) Put a bead of Ultra Black where the gasket goes.
2) Press the gasket into the groves where you just put a bead of Ultra Black.
3) Put another bead of Ultra Black on top of the pressed in gasket.
4) Carefully place the VC on the head w/ out moving it too much. You may need a partner to keep the wiring harness out of your way, or just bungee it out of the way!
5) Get an RB upgraded PCV valve & a new PCV breather hose & valve. These items reed to be replaced every 50,000 miles or excess pressure will build up and start to blow out gaskets.
6) Get a BMS catch can.
7) Walnut Blast every 30-36,000 miles; get your own set up for about $200.00 and learn to do it yourself.
Use the DIY below from ECS Tuning

Thanks for the info! Will do this. Walnut blast is up next- need to find someone in the Central Florida area to help me or I will be taking it into a shop. |
If you take it into a shop, they will charge you $400.00.
You can buy your own kit for just under $200.00. As long as you have s decent air compressor & a good shop vac, your good.
There are plenty of videos on "how too" on YouTube
