Well.....checked my bolts with the in/lbs torque wrench and they were all set correctly.

I think I'm going to just replace the gasket myself. Called JEGS to see if they made any better aftermarket ones but doesn't look like they do. I'll have to call around tomorrow and try to find me a set locally and probably do the change on Wednesday.

BTW: I looked closer at that TSB I posted earlier and it looks like that's a leak around the engine block/head area. Mine is definately coming from under the valve cover so it's not the same issue.
