I’ve inspected my engine bay and there seems to be no oil leaks except the one near the valve cover which is very very small. I will do the compression and leak down test for sure tho.
I am wondering whether or not to change my timing chain if I am doing the valve cover. There is no knocking or sounds from it, but isn’t it about time for it?
The timing chain is an entirely more complex project and the valve cover gasket is cheap, you can even reuse it if its not old. Its rubber Youll just need a lil more RTV.. So dont worry about doing one with the other unless you know for sure you need a new timing chain and tensioner/guides...which are a very expensive and laborious process.
