Valve cover washer seals
Hey, I just got done putting a new valve cover gasket on and new valve cover washer seals but the problem is I can't get the bolt to over pass the washer seal its flat even with it. Should I try and smash the washer seals down? I tried pounding the the gasket done but no luck. Also would it hurt to smash the washer seals in a vise?
Thanks,
Mario

Make sure the cover is fully seated to the head. The raised portion of the washer goes down into the hole of the cover. Don't smash the washers nor over tighten them that can cause the top of the rocker arms to hit the cover. They need to be tourqed to 52 in/lbs.
All else fails post a picture so we can see what the problem looks like.

Alright will try, also the cover isnt touching the head because of the new gasket in it, is there a way to smash it down so it is touching? I tried using a rubber mallet but that was no use at all.

Also try and seat the washers a little farther on the studs by turning them like you are screwing them down.
