Just re-built and fitted V4 STI motor, and finished it last night.
The engine starts and runs perfectly, however both rocker cover gaskets leak along the bottom seam!
They both had new rubber gaskets and bolt seals, were all cleaned properly and torqued correctly so why the f*ck do they both leak???

I must have done something wrong, BUT how can I sort it asap as I want to put some miles on it!

Please offer some help/advise/short term/permanent cure!!

I haven`t drived it for 6 weeks so I am gagging......

Joff did you use the silicone sealant as well as the rubber gaskets mate as they have to be sealed in bud...
