[QUOTE="Tbuck07, post: 570947, member: 10400"] So I'm getting closer to being completely done with teh PI swap..(then onto other crap with the car..) I know I'm leaking some oil onto the pass side exhaust, which I think is a loose valve cover bolt (or a few) as I felt around, felt oil where the cover meets the head.. Im just noticing the motor is kind of noisy, not like terribly noisy, but has a kind of ticking to it..Ive heard that the PI swap needs 1000-1500 miles for it to sit right and adjust..just making sure this doesnt mean the first time I go to get on my car it blows up. Ill try to get a video soon..just makes me really worried.. Just not sure if my car leaked enough oil for it to be ticking to be low on oil, its not pouring out or anything, but is leaking.. Also, I have to take the whole valve cover off to put on a new valve cover bolt, dont I? The way the gasket is designed..I had to fold some flaps over the round part of the valve cover gasket, etc..or am I ok to just stick a bolt in there and tigthen 'er down? (For those who don tknow, Im missing one valve cover bolt, bottom side, all the way in the front) which may be what is causing it to leak..? [/QUOTE]
