New CEG'er
About 6 months ago I experienced the usual Zetec plug in oil syndrome and replaced my cover gasket. At that time I mentioned to others that they might want to pick up some gasket in a tube or some tacky substance to help stick the gasket to the cover since my gasket (Felpro) would only stick in the groves of the cover at the corners. When I tried to turn it over to place the cover on the head the gasket would droop down and not stay in place. Several said that was nonsense and you did not need anything to stick it to the cover with.
Now I'm having a very small oil leak at the front of the head. Its not going into the well for the plugs but down the front. My question is, since my gasket did not fit like everyone else's could it have been undersized since it should not be leaking oil after only 6 months?
