do u mean 4500rpm, and the valve cover is put on correctly, it isn't twisted or ne thing?? also the leak is coming from the driver side or pass. side.. I wasn't really sure who's right u meant... oh yeah, did u make sure there wasn't any debris be4 u placed the new 1 in place..

Some blue RTV or Hondabond usually does the trick.

Pull the valve cover, get a new gasket, clean both valve cover gasket and head surfaces, put a 1/8" bead all the way around the valve cover where the gasket will be seated, put the gasket on the cover, put another bead on the gasket where it will contact the head, again all the way around, carefully put in place, torque it down, let RTV dry, and the end result is a nonleaking valve cover gasket. Piece of cake.

get a new valve cover gasket
before u installit make sure that the engine block is very very very clean.<<<<< make sure of that.then check the block or the valve cover for any small cracks on them.

use some black rtv sealant....dont over tighten it, just tighten enough so that the sealent slightly comes out and makes a nice seal...
