I'll have pics up this weekend of my engine back in my car. Anyways got my valve cover painted black with wrinkle finish. So tonight I do the last things needed before ready to drop in. Tap oil for return and couple other misc bolts. Last thing needing to be installed, is the valve cover. Can anyone guess what I did????......................After torqueing down to valve cover to specs and cleanign up for dinner I go to grab a Dr. Pepper. And what is lieing their next to the fridge......the spark plug gasket..........

hahahahha! Been there done that man! At least you noticed before your spark plug holes filled up with oil (did that too haha).

And good call on the Dr. Pepper.

What happens when the hole fills up? Runs like poo?

I had a couple of spark plug holes filled with oil. I was attempting to run the engine for testing with only a couple of bolts on the valve cover. Yep runs like crap on 2 cylinders.
