My little car had a small valve cover leak from the start but as it was tiny I ignored it. Suddenly this leak wasn't small anymore and I had to do something. After purchasing this gasket, I was able to tinker until it was too late to do the driveway work myself, so I hired a mechanic to install the gasket. I assumed he failed the job because the leak was just as bad when I returned the car. Since I had installed the gasket, I assumed he would use that as an excuse to evade responsibility. So I ordered a second one and started planning a winter install. At this point, something (can't remember what it was) prompted me to check the tightness of the bolts. THAT was the problem and tightening it properly fixed the problem. So now I have a car that doesn't leak or smell and has a replacement rocker cover gasket. I bet I won't be using this sloppy mechanic again despite his spotless local reputation.
