While I'm in there-Turbo Valve covers

[stealthn]

Hi,

I got a few leaks I'd like to cleanup and one thing I should do is change to the Turbo valve covers. When my car was on the hoist my mechanic was taking about something backing out in the lower valves. I wasn't really listening as I was looking for more leaks. Is there anything I should be doing or checking when I replace the valve covers, and what was the mechanic talking about?

Thanks in advance,

Rocker arm shaft broken stud Might be rather important; I'd call up the mechanic and ask him what he saw. I would expect though that if it was serious he would have made a bigger deal about it. Jim

Thanks Jim, the covers weren't off, just leaking a bit. He was talking about what else to check. I just wanted to know if this is common, or I should just change them and visually inspect the valves, etc.

Thanks
