ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    I vote "yes", providing it's in good condition.

    If you notice it leaking in a few days than I will change my vote to "no."

        If it's still somewhat soft/flexible then it should be fine. Also make sure the grommets on top aren't rock hard either. Bad grommets can also cause good tube seals and vc gasket to leak as it doesn't let the nut tighten the vc down enough.

          If it's still soft and pliable, then yes.

          I'd also add to put a fresh dab of RTV in the 4 corners over the cam.

            yes i agree
            dont take it off while the motor is HOT though
            it will stretch and when the motor is COLD it wont fit
            it happened to me lol
            take it off when the engine is completly cooled down

                I took mine off once and it leaked. I gusse it depends on the condition of the valve cover gasket
