Valve covers seals and Phenolic spacer kit job

[Maddbuck]

Hey all,<P>I'm looking into fixing the valve cover seals to deal with the oil in the sparkplug wells this summer. I wanted to put the phenolic spacers in at the same time and change vacuum hoses.<BR>couple of Q's<BR>1. is outlaw engineering reliable and honest if I order the spacer kit from them?<BR>2. What should I look out for while replacing the seals/doing the job<BR>3. I'm thinking of changing to synthetic oil - should I get the oil system flushed and cleaned before changing?<BR>4. Anybody change to synthetic gear oil like redline MT90?<P>Appreciate any advice on this.<BR>Thanx<BR>

you dont need to flush the system to put in synthetic, but its not a bad idea if you havent done one in a while. Also, ive used Redline gear oil and liked it....much smoother shifting.

hey maddbuck, what's up<BR>Outlaw engineering is very reliable, i ordered a Pheno kit from them and got it with no problems.<BR>Be careful not to break valve cover bolts, use a torque ranch

They sent me the spacers to Europe. No problems.
