Glenn's plan to lay down a smokescreen to prevent any cars from overtaking him went terribly wrong!

Where was the oil coming from? I hope nothing internal as the engine sounded strong.

Also, what was the red pole sitting car?

I have had problems with the nyloc nuts on the exhaust valve covers, they are dripping oil right on the headers. I am going to get the machined exhaust valve covers, not nyloc nuts and wrap the headers to fix this...hopefully it will work.

The pole sitter was a Manta, it is a kit car copy of a McLaren M6.

I am going to try the Hargett billet exhaust valve covers, they utilize the 964 style rubber seals. They just arrived and look beautiful!

Those are really beatiful !!!

Have you thought using cap nuts and copper washers. They could help with leaking studs.

I am using metal lock nuts this time, I always use aluminum washers.
The leaks are caused by the nyloc nuts heating up beyond their tolerance and coming loose then oil leaks from the bottom of the exhaust valve covers.Attached Image

I will see how the billet covers work, at the last race I had just adjusted the valves and put new gaskets, nyloc nuts and aluminum washers.

Perhaps try "mechanical locking" nuts instead of Nyloc? Ones that are deformed like the popular exhaust nuts?

Who's had good luck with the re-usable orange silicone gaskets ?
I used them on my new rebuild (stock 2.0, orig 11 stud lowers) and was disappointed that they wept right from the start. Both intake and exhaust.
I used nice fat original alu washers and new nylocks.
Never has this problem with the grey or green gaskets
Sorry for the hijack Glenn

Had a good day at the track on Sunday
The new covers and nuts I fixed finally stopped the oil leaks!
I ended up in 3rd place after many attempts to pass the 2nd place Alpha GTV
here is video of the start from the 240Z behind me
the race starts at 0:36, I am to the right
