Tools, I've confirmed you're right about my valve cover gasket leaking.

I also have some bad news, I checked the bolt around where it was leaking and it seemed loose.  I tightened it up a little and it started slipping (way under the torque setting of where it was supposed to be).  It's definitely stripped.  I have my first heli-coil/timesert in my near future.

Has anyone done this recently?  Do you know what heli-coil or timesert I need to buy for the valve cover bolt on a dohc?
